LDAP Authentication

LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is a standard for querying and updating a directory. Since LDAP supports a multilevel hierarchy (for example, groups or organizational units), the SSL VPN Concentrator can query this information and provide specific group policies or bookmarks based on LDAP attributes. By configuring LDAP attributes, the SSL VPN Concentrator administrator can leverage the groups that have already been configured in an LDAP or Active Directory database, rather than manually recreating the same groups in the SSL VPN Concentrator.

Once an LDAP authentication domain is created, a default LDAP group will be created with the same name as the LDAP domain name. Although you can add additional groups to or delete groups from this domain, you cannot delete the default LDAP group.
