Figure 34: LDAP settings
To define an LDAP server query
1 Go to System > Config > LDAP.
2 Select Create New. Complete the following:
LDAP Distinguished Name
Query
Name Enter the name for the LDAP server query.
Server Name/IP Enter the LDAP server domain name or IP address.
Server Port Enter the port number. By default, the port is 389.
Server Type Select whether to use anonymous or authenticated (regular)
queries.
If selecting Anonymous, your LDAP server must be configured to
allow unauthenticated anonymous queries.
If selecting Regular, you must also enter the Bind DN and Bind
Password.
Bind DN Enter an LDAP user name in DN format to authenticate as a
specific LDAP user, and bind the query to a DN.
This option appears only when the Server Type is Regular.
Bind Password Enter the LDAP user’s password.
This option appears only when the Server Type is Regular.
Common Name
Identifier
Enter the attribute identifier used in the LDAP query filter. By
default, the identifier is cn.
For example, if the Base DN contains several objects, and you
want to include only objects whose cn=Admins, enter the
Common Name Identifier cn and enter the Group(s) value
Admins when configuring report profiles. For more information,
see “Configuring reports” on page 113.
Report scopes using this query require Common Name Identifier.
If this option is blank, the LDAP query for reports will fail.
Base DN Enter the Distinguished Name of the location in the LDAP
directory which will be searched during the query.
To improve query speed, enter a more specific DN to constrain
your search to the relevant subset of the LDAP tree.
For example, instead of entering dc=example,dc=com you
might enter the more specific DN
ou=Finance,dc=example,dc=com. This restricts the query to
the “Finance” organizational unit within the tree.
Report scopes using this query require Base DN. If this option is
blank, the LDAP query for reports will fail.
LDAP Distinguished
Name Query
Select to test the query.
Entries in the Base DN appear; if the query results contains
multiple levels, entries appear under their parent object.
