LDAP

If you have configured LDAP support and a user is required to authenticate using an LDAP server, the FortiGate unit contacts the LDAP server for authentication. To authenticate with the FortiGate unit, the user enters a user name and password. The FortiGate unit sends this user name and password to the LDAP server. If the LDAP server can authenticate the user, the user is successfully authenticated with the FortiGate unit. If the LDAP server cannot authenticate the user, the connection is refused by the FortiGate unit.
