SonicOS Enhanced 4.0 Administrator Guide
Configuring the SonicWALL Appliance for LDAP
The Users > Settings page in the administrative interface provides the settings for managing
your LDAP integration:
Step 1 In the SonicOS administrative interface, open the Users > Settings page.
Step 2 In the Authentication method for login drop-down list, select either LDAP or LDAP + Local
Users.
Step 3 Clic k Configure.
Step 4 If you are connected to your SonicWALL appliance via HTTP rather than HTTPS, you will see
a dialog box warning you of the sensitive nature of the information stored in directory services
and offering to change your connection to HTTPS. If you have HTTPS management enabled
for the interface to which you are connected (recommended), click Yes.
Step 5 On the Settings tab of the LDAP Configuration window, configure the following fields:
• Name or IP Address – The FQDN or the IP address of the LDAP server against which you
wish to authenticate. If using a name, be certain that it can be resolved by your DNS server.
Also, if using TLS with the ‘Require valid certificate from server’ option, the name provided
here must match the name to which the server certificate was issued (i.e. the CN) or the
TLS exchange will fail.
