User authentication LDAP
IX10 User Guide
724
n
off: Uses a non-secure TCP connection on the LDAP standard port, 389.
n
on: Uses an SSL/TLS encrypted connection on port 636.
n
start_tls: Makes a non-secure TCP connection to the LDAP server on port 389, then
sends a request to upgrade the connection to a secure TLS connection. This is the
preferred method for LDAP.
The default is off.
5. If tls is set to on or start_tls, configure whether to verify the server certificate:
(config)> auth ldap verify_server_cert value
(config)>
where value is either:
n
true: Verifies the server certificate with a known Certificate Authority.
n
false: Does not verify the certificate. Use this option if the server is using a self-signed
certificate.
The default is true.
6. Set the distinguished name (DN) that is used to bind to the LDAP server and search for users.
Leave this option unset if the server allows anonymous connections.
(config)> auth ldap bind_dn dn_value
(config)>
For example:
(config)> auth ldap bind_dn cn=user,dc=example,dc=com
(config)>
7. Set the password used to log into the LDAP server. Leave this option unset if the server allows
anonymous connections.
(config)> auth ldap bind_password password
(config)>
8. Set the distinguished name (DN) on the server to search for users. This can be the root of the
directory tree (for example, dc=example,dc=com) or a sub-tree (for example.
ou=People,dc=example,dc=com).
(config)> auth ldap base_dn value
(config)>
9. Set the login attribute:
(config)> auth ldap login_attribute value
(config)>
where value is the user attribute containing the login of the authenticated user. For example,
in the LDAP user configuration, the login attribute is uid. . If this attribute is not set, the user
will be denied access.
10. (Optional) Set the name of the user attribute that contains the list of IX10 authentication
groups that the authenticated user has access to. See LDAP user configuration for further
