Directory configuration
The Directory Configuration window allows you to configure the connection to the directory, user attributes that you would like to import, User Search Branches and Group Search Branches. Each configuration section has specific information that must be entered to allow FortiNAC to connect with the Directory and import users and groups.
Use the Schedule button to configure the intervals for synchronizing the database with the selected Directory. Use the Preview button to review data in the selected Directory. Use the Copy button to pre-populate directory configuration fields for a new directory connection. Refer to Add/modify directory - Connection tab for field definitions.
Prior versions of FortiNAC did not always require a Physical Address for the Directory server. If you are modifying an existing Directory Configuration and that configuration does not have a Physical Address for the Directory server, you will not be able to save your changes until the Physical Address has been added.
Directory Configuration can be accessed from System > Settings > Authentication > LDAP.
