4.4.3.3 LDAP Client Settings
Item Description
Host The hostname or IP address of the LDAP server
Use SSL A switch that will enable or disable SSL when attempting to connect to the LDAP server. This is a separate
option than the port number, in the case that a site is using a nonstandard port for authentication, but still
wants the ability to specify encryption. We always suggest using encryption when using LDAP.
Base DN The base point in the directory tree where the user distinguished name search will begin.
User DN The distinguished name of a user that will be used to authenticate. Multiple users are supported by using
macros. For example, in the above image, the username test User attempts to log in, and the User DN
pulls the name "Test User" from the user's definition for use in the authentication to replace the string
%Full Name%.
TLS Require Cert This specifies how to handle server certificates during TLS negotiations. Never: the client never asks the
server for a certificate. Allow: the client will ask for a certificate, if none is provided the session proceeds
normally. If a certificate is provided but the client is unable to verify it, the certificate is ignored and the
session proceeds normally, as if no certificate had been provided. Try: the certificate is requested, and if
none is provided, the session proceeds normally. If a certificate is provided and it cannot be verified, the
session is immediately terminated. Demand: the certificate is requested, and a valid certificate must be
provided, otherwise the session is immediately terminated.
Certificate File This is the certificate that will be sent to the LDAP Server when/if requested.
User Name The information for a user that is defined in the Users page. The first part (name), is accessible by the
%Full Name% macro, and the second part (username) is accessible with the %User Name% macro.
Password The password for the given user to test the LDAP server configuration.
Test User A button to send an authentication request using the given settings for the user and password above.
NOTE: Settings should be saved using the "Save Settings" button at the bottom of the page before testing
a configuration change.
