Scenario 1: Configuring LDAP Authentication and Authorization

•LDAP Server port. The port on which the LDAP server listens for connections. The default port for LDAP connections is port 389.

•LDAP Administrator Bind DN and LDAP Administrator Password. If the LDAP directory requires applications to authenticate when accessing it, the administrator must know the name of the user account that the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway should use for this authentication and the password associated with this account.

•LDAP Base DN. The base object of the directory (or level of the directory) where user names are stored. All remote users must have a Person entry at this level of the directory. Some example values are:

ou=Users,dc=ace,dc=com

cn=Users,dc=ace,dc=com

•LDAP Server login name attribute. The attribute of an LDAP directory Person entry that contains a user's name. The following table contains examples of the user name attribute fields for different LDAP directories:

LDAP Server	User Attributes	Case Sensitive
Microsoft Active Directory	sAM AccountName	No
Server
Novell eDirectory	cn	Yes
IBM Directory Server	uid
Lotus Domino	CN
Sun ONE directory (formerly	uid or cn	Yes
iPlanet)

•LDAP Group attribute - The attribute of a user's Person entry that lists the groups to which a user belongs; for example, "memberOf." The LDAP Group attribute is used only for LDAP authorization.

At this point, the administrator has completed all of the procedures needed to prepare for the LDAP authentication and authorization configuration task. When this task is complete, the administrator has the following information:

•The specific network locations of all network resources that the remote Sales and Engineering users must access

•The names of the user groups in the LDAP directory that contain the Sales and Engineering users who require remote access ("Remote Sales" and "Remote Engineers" in this example)

•The specific LDAP directory information needed to configure the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway to operate with the LDAP directory

With this information available, the administrator is now ready to configure the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway to provide access to the internal network resources for the Sales and Engineering users.

Configuring the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway to Support Access to the Internal Network Resources

Configuring the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway to support access to the internal network resources is the last of two tasks the administrator performs in the scenario for configuring LDAP authentication and autho- rization.

In this task, the administrator uses the information gathered in the previous task to configure the set- tings in the Administration Tool that enable the remote users to access the internal network resources.
