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 Configure-Appliance-Authentication-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.
LDAP Query parameters
On the LDAP Query page, you can configure the parameters used when performing user
authentication queries.
The appliance performs two different types of queries. Query Mode (Appliance) is used to
authenticate administrators and users attempting to access the appliance itself. Query Mode
(Server) is used to authenticate users that are attempting to access attached servers. Additionally,
