About LDAP Labels

About LDAP Labels

LDAP Labels are labels that interact with LDAP servers. These labels are automatically assigned to device and user records using LDAP queries or search filters.

There are two types of LDAP Labels:

•
Device: Labels applied to device records. This is useful if you want to automatically group devices by name, description, and other LDAP criteria. Each time a device is inventoried, this query runs against the LDAP server. the admin value in the Search Filter field is replaced with the name of the user that is logged in to the device. If a result is returned, the device is assigned the label specified in the Associated Label Name field.
•
User: Labels applied to user records. This is useful if you want to automatically group users by domain, location, budget code, or other LDAP criteria. LDAP Labels are applied to or removed from user records when users are imported to the appliance manually or according to a schedule.

About label groups

About label groups

You can organize labels by assigning them to label groups. Label groups share their types with the labels they contain.

Not only can a label group include multiple labels, but a label can be associated with more than one label group. Labels inherit any restrictions of the groups to which they belong.

About organization filters

About organization filters

Organization filters are similar to labels, but they serve a specific purpose: Organization filters automatically assign devices to organizations when devices are inventoried.

There are two types of organization filters:

•
Data Filters: Assigns devices to organizations automatically based on search criteria. When devices are inventoried, they are assigned to the organization if they meet the criteria. This filter is similar to Smart Labels in that it assigns devices to organizations automatically if they match specified criteria.
•
LDAP Filters: Assigns devices to organizations automatically based on LDAP or Active Directory interaction. When devices are inventoried, the query runs against the LDAP server. If devices meet the criteria, they are automatically assigned to the organization.
