5.1.2 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.
