To add an Generic LDAP server:

1Click Add in the User Directories screen.

2Select Generic LDAP.

3Click Next. The Generic LDAP screen is displayed.

4Enter the following information:

Directory ID – The ID of the directory. This field is limited to 64 characters.

Server Address – The address of your LDAP server.

Port – The default is 389.

Enable Secure LDAP – Select the check box if you wish to enable Secure LDAP. This will change the default port number to 636.

User Name/ Password – The user name and password for this appliance.

Base DN – This is the Base DN of the LDAP server when applying the validation filter.

Search Filter – The search filter is a standard LDAP query and can also use the variables listed. For example: (mail=%email%)(user=%user%)(ou=Engineering)

Mail Field – The field in the LDAP query that contains the e-mail address to be imported.

Cache Setting – Select the option that corresponds to how you want to treat Address Caching:

Cache All Addresses – All addresses will be cached.

Enable Partial Address Caching – This is the default setting. Enter a value into the Maximum Cache Entry field to specify how many entries should be stored in the memory cache. The default is 10000.

Disable Address Caching – No addresses will be cached.

Cache Timeout - When Cache All Addresses or Enable Partial Address Caching are enabled, addresses of all e-mails passing through RiskFilter are checked against the validation server. E- mails from valid addresses are delivered, and the addresses held in cache for a set time. If an e- mail is sent from a previously validated address within this cache timeout, the e-mail is delivered without contacting the validation server. However, if another e-mail is sent from this address after the cache timeout, the server will be contacted again to validate the address. The default is 60.

5Click Submit.
