Configuring LDAP Security Settings (BUI)

To configure security settings for the LDAP service, use the following procedure.

1. Go to Configuration > Services.
2. Under Directory Services, select LDAP.
3. For Security Settings, select one of the following authentication options:

   • Anonymous - Gives the appliance access only to data that is available to everyone. To optionally enable the SSL and TLS protocols, select the check box for Enable SSL/TLS.

   • Self - Authenticates the appliance using the user's identity and credentials. Self authentication uses Kerberos encryption and the SASL/GSSAPI authentication method.

   • Proxy - Specifies authentication through a proxy for a specific user account. Set the following options:

     • (Optional) Enable SSL/TLS - Select this check box to enable the SSL and TLS protocols, which is highly recommended when using the simple authentication method so the user's distinguished name and password are not sent as plain text.

     • Authentication Method - Select either Simple (RFC 4513) or SASL/DIGEST-MD5.

     • Proxy DN - Distinguished name of account used for proxy authentication.

     • Proxy Password - Password for account used for proxy authentication.

4. Click APPLY.

   Note -  After clicking APPLY, the LDAP server configuration is validated. If the Proxy DN or Proxy Password fails or times out, a warning is displayed.
