Authentication
Description (or Subfield and Description)
Protocol or Method
LDAP
A network-validated domain-based authentication method that functions with a
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) authentication server. LDAP is a
standard for querying and updating a directory. Because LDAP supports a multilevel
hierarchy (for example, groups or organizational units), this information can be
queried to provide specific group policies or bookmarks based on LDAP attributes.
To create a domain:
1. Select Users > Domains from the menu. The Domains screen displays.
UTM's default domain—geardomain—and, as an example, another domain in the List of
Domains table.

Portal Layout Name. The SSL portal layout that is assigned to the domain.
