Add or edit organization LDAP Filters

Add or edit organization LDAP Filters

You can add LDAP Filters to automatically assign devices to organizations using LDAP criteria.

* 
NOTE: If the LDAP server requires credentials for administrative login (that is, non-anonymous login), supply those credentials. If user name and password are not provided, the tree lookup is not performed. Each LDAP Filter might connect to a different LDAP server.
1.
Go to the Organization Filters Detail page:
a.
Log in to the appliance System Administration Console, http://appliance_hostname/system, or select System from the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Organizations, then click Filters.
c.
Display the Organization Filter Detail page by doing one of the following:
▪
Click the name of a LDAP filter.
▪
Select Choose Action > New LDAP Filter
2.
Provide the following information:

Option

Description

Enabled

Whether the filter is enabled. Filters have to be enabled before they can be applied.

Name

The name of the filter. This name appears on the Organization Filters list.

Description

A description of the filter.

Evaluation Order

The run order of the filter. Filters run according to the number specified. Low numbers run before high numbers.

3.
Specify LDAP criteria:

Option

Description

LDAP Server

The IP address or the hostname of the LDAP server. If the IP address is not valid, the appliance waits to timeout, resulting in login delays during LDAP authentication.

* 
NOTE: To connect through SSL, use an IP address or hostname. For example: ldaps://hostname.

Port

The LDAP port number, which is usually 389 (LDAP) or 636 (secure LDAP).

Base Dn

The LDAP criteria used to filter the main location for devices.

This criteria specifies a location or container in the LDAP or Active Directory structure, and the criteria should include all the devices that you want to identify. Enter the most specific combination of OUs, DCs, or CNs that match your criteria, ranging from left (most specific) to right (most general). For example, this path might lead to the container with devices that you want to identify:

OU=computers,DC=company,DC=com.

Advanced Search

The search filter. For example:

(&(objectCategory=Computer)(sAMAccountName=KBOX_COMPUTER_NAME))

LDAP Login

The credentials of the account the appliance uses to log in to the LDAP server to read accounts. For example:

LDAP Login:CN=service_account,CN=Users,DC=company,DC=com.

If no username is provided, an anonymous bind is attempted. Each LDAP Label can connect to a different LDAP or Active Directory server.

LDAP Password

The password of the account the appliance uses to log in to the LDAP server.

During the filter processing, the appliance will replace all KBOX_ defined variables with their respective runtime values.

Currently supported variables for organization device filters:

KBOX_COMPUTER_NAME
KBOX_COMPUTER_DESCRIPTION
KBOX_COMPUTER_MAC
KBOX_COMPUTER_IP
KBOX_USER
KBOX_USER_DOMAIN
KBOX_DOMAINUSER

Should the external server require credentials for administrative login (aka non-anonymous login) please supply those credentials. If no LDAP user name is given then an anonymous bind will be attempted. Each LDAP filter may connect to a different LDAP/AD server.

* 
NOTE: To test your Filter, replace any KBOX_ variables with real values. Click Test and review the results.
4.
Click Save.
