51User Manual v16.2.1 ─ 01
To make the LDAP users in this list available for use in connections and firewall rules,
the users have to be added to the desktop by clicking
(Pin this user to the desktop)
next to the respective user in the item list bar.
The user's login name has to exactly match the name displayed on the desktop (case-
sensitive). Otherwise, the name in the user-specific firewall rules will not correspond to
the user logging on to the client and the rules will not match.
On the desktop, LDAP users are displayed with a lock symbol and cannot be edited
because they are managed on the LDAP server.
It is also possible to pin all users to the desktop at once by clicking (Pin all users to
desktop) in the header of the item list bar. However, it is not possible to unpin all users
at once.
To remove individual LDAP users from the desktop, click (Unpin this user from desk-
top) next to the user in the item list bar.
Removing an LDAP user from the desktop deletes all connections and rules linked to
this user. To avoid accidental unpinning, you will be asked to confirm the unpin action.
To create connections and firewall rules for an LDAP user existing on the desktop, use
the circular menu around the desktop object and click .
Directory Service
Specify the connection parameters for the directory server that is used to manage the
LDAP users on your network.
Navigate to "Firewall > User Authentication > Directory Service" to configure the set-
tings for the directory server.
The "Directory Service" settings allow you to configure the following elements:
> Server
The "Server" settings determine the directory server to which gateprotect Firewall con-
nects and the communication methods that are used for the connection.

"Host or IP Address" Enter the host name or the IP address of the directory server.
