LDAP Authentication
The Digi Passport unit supports authenticating against an LDAP-based
database, including LDAP systems running on Linux servers, and Microsoft
systems running the Microsoft Active Directory with the LDAP gateway
ADAM (Active Directory Application Mode).
If the Digi Passport unit authenticates against an LDAP directory, all users
must be configured in a single container. The Digi Passport unit will extend
the username using the LDAP search base and authenticate the user.
For example, consider a domain named dilbert.com. The LDAP server is
at 10.1.1.1. All users with access to the Digi Passport unit are located in the
container USA Users.
The LDAP authentication for users of the domain is configured as follows:
Authentication method: LDAP server
First LDAP Server 10.1.1.1
Second LDAP Server
LDAP search base: ou=users,ou=usa,dc=dilbert,dc=com
Domain name for active directory:
If the LDAP database resides on a Microsoft system, the Domain name for
the active directory (in the above example, dilbert.com) must be
configured.
If using a non-Microsoft system, do not use this setting, as it changes the
LDAP to comply with Microsoft syntax.
