Using LDAP/Active Directory Authentication
If you use LDAP authentication, you do not have to keep a separate user database on the
Firebox® X Edge. You can configure the Edge to forward user authentication requests to a generic
LDAP or Active Directory server. You can use LDAP authentication and local Firebox authentication at
the same time.
With LDAP authentication, user privileges are controlled on a group basis. You can add the names of
your existing LDAP or Active Directory user groups to the Firebox X Edge configuration and assign priv-
ileges and a WebBlocker profile. When users authenticate to the Edge, they prepend their LDAP
domain name to their user name in the authentication dialog box (domain\user name). If you use an
Active Directory authentication server, users can also authenticate using their fully qualified domain
name (username@mycompany.com).
Configuring the LDAP/Active Directory authentication service
When you enable LDAP authentication, you define one authentication server and its properties. To
enable LDAP authentication:
1
To connect to the System Status page, type https:// in the browser address bar, and the IP
address of the Firebox X Edge trusted interface.
