If LDAP is used for authentication, it is first consulted when a user attempts a login. If the
user is not found or LDAP denies access, then the credentials are checked against the
Gateway unit internal user list.
Note
: Configuration of LDAP is an advanced topic and requires existing knowledge of
LDAP function and setup.
SmartZone Gateway LDAP Structure
For a Gateway unit to successfully authenticate a user for Web Management Interface
login, it needs to be pointed to a specific structure within a directory. You can point a unit
to this structure within a directory by specifying the
Unit Base DN
on the Network Setup
– LDAP page.
You will need to create the following Organizational Units:
l
Gateway (this can be named anything)
l
Gateway Administrators
l
Gateway Controllers
l
Gateway Viewers
Note
: Groups are found in the Active Directory schema. However, any implementation
which provides a group with a
Members
attribute may function.
The following figure depicts the Gateway LDAP authentication structure:
