16.3.6 Configuring the LDAP Search Filter Attribute
When the LDAP-based login username-password authentication succeeds, the device
searches the LDAP server for all groups of which the user is a member. The LDAP query is
based on the following LDAP data structure:
Search base object (distinguished name or DN, e.g.,
"ou=ABC,dc=corp,dc=abc,dc=com"): The DN defines the location in the directory
from which the LDAP search begins and is configured in ''Configuring LDAP DNs
(Base Paths) per LDAP Server'' on page
254.
Filter (e.g., "(&(objectClass=person)(sAMAccountName=johnd))"): This filters the
search in the subtree to include only the login username (and excludes others). This is
configured by the 'LDAP Authentication Filter' parameter, as described in the following
procedure. You can use the dollar ($) sign to represent the username. For example,
the filter can be configured as "(sAMAccountName=$)", where if the user attempts to
log in with the username "SueM", the LDAP search is done only for the attribute
sAMAccountName that equals "SueM".
Attribute (e.g., "memberOf") to return from objects that match the filter criteria:
The attribute is configured by the 'Management Attribute' parameter in the LDAP
Configuration table (see ''Configuring LDAP Servers'' on page
250).
Therefore, the LDAP response includes only the groups of which the specific user is a
member.
