LDAP Servers

LDAP Servers

The FortiDeceptor system supports remote authentication of administrators using LDAP servers. To use this feature, you must configure the appropriate server entries in the FortiDeceptor unit for each authentication server in your network.

If you have configured LDAP support and require a user to authenticate using an LDAP server, the FortiDeceptor unit contacts the LDAP server for authentication. To authenticate with the FortiDeceptor unit, the user enters a user name and password. The FortiDeceptor unit sends this user name and password to the LDAP server. If the LDAP server can authenticate the user, the FortiDeceptor unit successfully authenticates the user. If the LDAP server cannot authenticate the user, the FortiDeceptor unit refuses the connection.

The following options are available:

Create New	Select to add an LDAP server.
Edit	Select an LDAP server in the list and select Edit in the toolbar to edit the entry.
Delete	Select an LDAP server in the list and select Delete in the toolbar to delete the entry.

The following information is displayed:

Name	The LDAP server name.
Address	The LDAP server address.
Common Name	The LDAP common name.
Distinguished Name	The LDAP distinguished name.
Bind Type	The LDAP bind type.
Connection Type	The LDAP connection type.
Number of LDAP servers	The number of LDAP server configured on the device.

To create a new LDAP server:

Go to System > LDAP Servers.
Select + Create New from the toolbar.

Configure the following settings:

Name		Enter a name to identify the LDAP server. The name should be unique to FortiDeceptor.
Server Name/IP		Enter the IP address or fully qualified domain name of the LDAP server.
Port		Enter the port for LDAP traffic. The default port is 389.
Common Name		The common name identifier for the LDAP server. Most LDAP servers use `cn`. However, some servers use other common name identifiers such as `uid`.
Distinguished Name		The distinguished name used to look up entries on the LDAP servers. The distinguished name reflects the hierarchy of LDAP database object classes above the common name identifier.
Bind Type		Select the type of binding for LDAP authentication. The following options are available: Simple Anonymous Regular
	Username	When the Bind Type is set to Regular, type the user name.
	Password	When the Bind Type is set to Regular, type the password.
Enable Secure Connection		Select to use a secure LDAP server connection for authentication.
