LDAP Authentication

LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is a standard for querying and updating a
directory. Since LDAP supports a multilevel hierarchy (for example, groups or organizational
units), the SSL VPN Concentrator can query this information and provide specific group policies
or bookmarks based on LDAP attributes. By configuring LDAP attributes, the SSL VPN
Concentrator administrator can leverage the groups that have already been configured in an LDAP
or Active Directory database, rather than manually recreating the same groups in the SSL VPN
Concentrator.
Once an LDAP authentication domain is created, a default LDAP group will be created with the
same name as the LDAP domain name. Although you can add additional groups to or delete
groups from this domain, you cannot delete the default LDAP group.
For an LDAP group, you can define LDAP attributes. For example, you can specify that users in
an LDAP group must be members of a certain group or organizational unit defined on the LDAP
server. Or you can specify a unique LDAP distinguished name.
Note: The Microsoft Active Directory database uses an LDAP organization schema. The
Active Directory database can be queried using Kerberos authentication (the
standard authentication type), NTLM authentication (labeled "NT Domain"
authentication in the SSL VPN Concentrator), or using LDAP database queries. As
a result, an LDAP domain configured in the SSL VPN Concentrator can
authenticate to an Active Directory server.
To add an LDAP authentication domain, see

Sample LDAP Attributes

You can enter up to 4 LDAP attributes per group. The following are some example LDAP
attributes of Active Directory LDAP users:
