5.1.2 LDAP Search parameters
On the LDAP Search window, you can configure the parameters used when searching for LDAP directory
service users.
Use the Search DN field to define an administrator-level user that the appliance uses to log into the
directory service. Once the appliance is authenticated, the directory service grants it access to the
directory to perform the user authentication queries specified on the LDAP Query page. The default
values are cn=Administrator, cn=Users, dc=yourDomainName and dc=com and can be modified. For
example, to define an administrator Distinguished Name (DN) for test.view.com, enter cn=Administrator,
cn=Users, dc=test, dc=view and dc=com. Each Search DN value must be separated by a comma.
The Search Password field is used to authenticate the administrator or user specified in the Search DN
field.
Use the Search Base field to define a starting point from which LDAP searches begin. The modifiable
default values are dc=yourDomainName and dc=com. For example, to define a search base for test.com,
type dc=test then dc=com. Each Search Base value must be separated by a comma.
The UID Mask field specifies the search criteria for User ID searches of LDAP target devices. The format
should be in the form <name>=<%1>. The default value is sAMAccountName=%1, which is correct for use
with Active Directory. This field is required for LDAP searches.
To configure LDAP search parameters:
1. Select A p p lian ce - A p p lian ce Settin g s - User Accou n ts - L DA P A ccou n ts - S earch .
2. Enter the appropriate information in the Search DN, Search Password, Search Base and UID
Mask fields.
3. Click S av e.
NOTE: These options cannot be changed if the LDAP Priority is set to L DA P Dis ab led on the Overview
window.
5.1.3 LDAP Query parameters
On the LDAP Query window, you can configure the parameters used when performing user
authentication queries.
The appliance performs two different types of queries. Query Mode (Appliance) is used to authenticate
administrators and users attempting to access the appliance itself. Query Mode (Target Device) is used to
authenticate users that are attempting to access attached target devices. Additionally, each type of
query has three modes that utilize certain types of information to determine whether or not an LDAP user
has access to an appliance or connected target devices. See Appliance and Target Device Query Modes
on page 40 for detailed information on each mode.
You can configure the following settings on the LDAP Query window:
• The Query Mode (Appliance) parameters determine whether or not a user has access to the
appliance.
