Configuring LDAP Security Settings (BUI)

Use the following procedure to configure LDAP security settings.
  1. From the Configuration menu, select Services.
  2. Under Directory Services, select LDAP.

    On the Properties tab, go to the Security Settings section of the page.

  3. Specify the credentials to use to authenticate the appliance to the LDAP server.

    For Authenticate as, select Anonymous, Self, or Proxy (Specific User).

  4. Enable SSL/TLS.

    If you selected either Anonymous or Proxy for Authenticate as, you can choose to enable SSL/TLS. Enabling TLS is highly recommended so that critical information is sent securely.

  5. Specify an Authentication Method.

    If you selected Proxy for Authenticate as, select either Simple (RFC 4513) or SASL/DIGEST-MD5 from the Authentication Method menu. Then specify the DN and Password.

  6. Click APPLY.

    The LDAP server configuration is validated. If the Proxy DN or Proxy Password fails or times out, a warning is displayed.
