NOTE: Unless otherwise specified, the LDAP default values should be used unless Active Directory has been

reconfigured. Modifying the default values may cause LDAP authentication server communication errors.

LDAP Overview parameters

On the LDAP Overview page in the OBWI, you can configure the LDAP authentication priority

and the parameters that define LDAP server connection information.

LDAP authentication priority

In the LDAP Priority section of the LDAP Overview page, you can disable LDAP, or you can set

the authentication priority by choosing whether local authentication or LDAP authentication should

happen first.

To configure LDAP authentication priority parameters:

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

2. Select either LDAP Disabled, LDAP before Local or LDAP after Local for the LDAP Priority.

3. Click Save.

LDAP servers

The Address fields specify the host names or IP addresses of the primary and secondary LDAP

servers. The second LDAP server is

optional.

The Port fields specify the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port numbers that communicate with the

LDAP servers. The default value is 389 for non-secure LDAP and 636 for secure LDAP (LDAPS).

The default Port ID is automatically entered by the software when an access type is specified.

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.
