LDAP Query parameters
On the LDAP Query page, 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 62 detailed information
on each mode.
You can configure the following settings on the LDAP Query Page:
•
The Query Mode (Appliance) parameters determine whether or not a user has access to the
appliance.
•
The Query Mode (Target Device) parameters determine whether or not a user has user
access to target devices connected to an appliance. The user does not have access to the
appliance, unless granted by Query Mode (Appliance).
•
The Group Container, Group Container Mask and Target Mask fields are only used for
group query modes and are required when performing an appliance or device query.
•
The Group Container field specifies the organizational unit (ou) created in Active
Directory by the administrator as the location for group objects.
•
Group objects are Active Directory objects that can contain users, computers, contacts
and other groups. Group Container is used when Query Mode is set to Group
Attribute. Each group object, in turn, is assigned members to associate with a particular
access level for member objects (people, appliances and target devices). The access
