The Access Type radio buttons specify how a query is sent to each LDAP target device. When using LDAP, all

usernames, passwords and other information sent between an appliance and LDAP server are sent as non-secure

clear text. Use LDAPS for secure encrypted communication between an appliance and LDAP server.

To configure LDAP server parameters:

1. Select Appliance - Appliance Settings - User Accounts - LDAP Accounts - Overview.

2. Identify the primary and secondary server address, port and access type in the appropriate fields or radio

buttons.

3. Click Save.

LDAP Search parameters

On the LDAP Search page, you can configure the parameters used when searching for LDAP directory service

users.

Use the Search DN field to define an administrator-level user that the appliance uses to log into the directory

service. Once the appliance is authenticated, the directory service grants it access to the directory to perform the

user authentication queries specified on the LDAP Query page. The default values are cn=Administrator,

cn=Users, dc=yourDomainName and dc=com and may be modified. For example, to define an administrator

Distinguished Name (DN) for test.view.com, type cn=Administrator, cn=Users, dc=test, dc=view, and

dc=com. Each Search DN value must be separated by a comma.

The Search Password field is used to authenticate the administrator or user specified in the Search DN field.

Use the Search Base field to define a starting point from which LDAP searches begin. The modifiable default

values are dc=yourDomainName and dc=com. For example, to define a search base for test.com, type dc=test,

dc=com. Each Search Base value must be separated by a comma.

The UID Mask field specifies the search criteria for User ID searches of LDAP target devices. The format should

be in the form <name>=<%1>. The default value is sAMAccountName=%1, which is correct for use with Active

Directory. This field is required for LDAP searches.

To configure LDAP search parameters:

1. Select Appliance - Appliance Settings - User Accounts - LDAP Accounts - Search.

2. Enter the appropriate information in the Search DN, Search Password, Search Base and UID Mask fields.

3. Click Save.

NOTE: These options cannot be changed if the LDAP Priority is set to LDAP Disabled on the Overview screen.

LDAP Query parameters

On the LDAP Query page, you can configure the parameters used when performing user authentication queries.

The appliance performs two different types of queries. Query Mode (Appliance) is used to authenticate

administrators and users attempting to access the appliance itself. Query Mode (Target Device) is used to

authenticate users that are attempting to access attached target devices. Additionally, each type of query has

three modes that utilize certain types of information to determine whether or not an LDAP user has access to an

appliance or connected target devices. See Appliance and Target Device Query Modes on page 50 detailed

information on each mode.
