There will be 5 tabs from which to choose:
Settings —This is where you set up the general LDAP Distinguished Name and Bind
settings.
Security —This is where you upload and manage the CA server certificate, CA client
certificate and CA client key.
Group —This is where you enable/disable group-based authentication.
Advanced —This is where you set up your search filter(s) and login attribute.
Servers —This is where you identify the LDAP server to be used.
Server Type —This must be the correct type—check with your LDAP server administrator if
you are not sure which you are using. You have a choice of:
Active Directory —This will be used when the LDAP server is a Windows server.
Open LDAP —This will be used when the LDAP server is a Linux/UNIX server.
Server Base DN —Specifies the default base distinguished name to use for searches. This
is the base name to use in the database search. Typically, this is the top-level of the dir-
ectory tree structure. Your LDAP server administrator will provide this information.
Bind DN —Enter the Distinguished Name used to bind to (this is an optional field if the data-
base allows anonymous simple authentication). You are able to use any same level of the
tree and everything below.
The bind DN is the user that is permitted to search the LDAP directory within the
defined search base. Most of the time, the bind DN will be permitted to search the
entire directory. The role of the bind DN is to query the directory using the LDAP
query filter (as specified under the Advanced tab) and search base for the DN for
authenticating users. When the DN is returned, the DN and password are used to
authenticate the user.
