LDAP servers
The Address fields specify the host names or IP addresses of the primary and secondary LDAP
servers. The secondary LDAP server is optional.
The Port fields specify the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port numbers that communicate with
the LDAP servers. The default value is 389 for non-secure LDAP and 636 for secure LDAP
(LDAPS). The default Port ID is automatically entered by the software when an access type is
specified.
The Access Type radio buttons specify how a query is sent to each LDAP target device. When
using LDAP, all usernames, passwords and other information sent between an appliance and
LDAP server are sent as non-secure clear text. Use LDAPS for secure encrypted communication
between an appliance and LDAP server.
