Authentication

Description (or Subfield and Description)

Protocol or Method

 

 

LDAP

A network-validated domain-based authentication method that functions with a

 

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) authentication server. LDAP is a

 

standard for querying and updating a directory. Because LDAP supports a multilevel

 

hierarchy (for example, groups or organizational units), this information can be

 

queried to provide specific group policies or bookmarks based on LDAP attributes.

 

 

To create a domain:

1.Select Users > Domains from the menu. The Domains screen displays. Figure 9-1shows the UTM’s default domain—geardomain—and, as an example, another domain in the List of Domains table.
