Identifier
Type or edit the common name identifier for the LDAP server. 20
characters maximum.
The common name identifier for most LDAP servers is cn. However
some servers use other common name identifiers such as uid.
Distinguished
Name
Type or edit the distinguished name used to look up entries on the
LDAP server.
Enter the base distinguished name for the server using the correct
X.500 or LDAP format. The FortiGate unit passes this distinguished
name unchanged to the server.
For example, you could use the following base distinguished name:
ou=marketing,dc=fortinet,dc=com
where ou is organization unit and dc is domain component.
You can also specify multiple instances of the same field in the
distinguished name, for example, to specify multiple organization units:
ou=accounts,ou=marketing,dc=fortinet,dc=com
Query icon View the LDAP server Distinguished Name Query tree for the base
Distinguished Name.
The LDAP Distinguished Name Query list displays the LDAP Server IP
address, and all the distinguished names associated with the Common
Name Identifier for the LDAP server. The tree helps you to determine
the appropriate entry for the DN field. Expand the Common Name
identifier to see the associated DNs. Select the DN from the list. The DN
you select is displayed in the Distinguished Name field. Select OK and
the Distinguished Name you selected will be saved in the Distinguished
Name field of the LDAP Server configuration. To see the users within
the LDAP Server user group for the selected Distinguished Name,
expand the Distinguished Name in the LDAP Distinguished Name
Query tree.
