2.
Provide the following information:

Option

Description

Enabled

Enable the appliance to run the LDAP Label.

* 
NOTE: Select the Enabled check box only after you have tested the LDAP Label to verify that the LDAP criteria is correct and labels are applied as expected.

Type

The LDAP Label type. 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. When devices are inventoried, this query runs against the LDAP server to determine whether any devices contain LDAP attributes with values that correspond to the LDAP search filter criteria. If a result is returned, the device is assigned the label specified in the Associated Label Name field.

You must include at least one appliance variable, such as KBOX_COMPUTER_NAME, in device labels for the LDAP label to be applied to a device. During LDAP label processing, the variable is used to compare an attribute's value in the LDAP directory to determine whether relationships exists between the LDAP object and an appliance object. See LDAP variables.

•
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. You can use user variables, such as KBOX_USER_NAME, in user labels. During LDAP label processing, the variable is used to compare an attribute's value in the LDAP directory to determine whether relationships exists between the LDAP object and an appliance object. See LDAP variables.
* 
TIP: To test a label, replace the KBOX_ variables with the appropriate values for your environment, then select Test.

Associated Label

The manual label, or container label, to associate with this LDAP Label. Each LDAP Label must have an associated label.

Associated Label Description

Notes from the label selected in the Associated Label Name field.

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 criteria used to search for accounts.

This criteria specifies a location or container in the LDAP or Active Directory structure, and the criteria should include all the users that you want to authenticate. 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 leads to the container with users that you need to authenticate:

OU=end_users,

DC=company,DC=com.

Advanced Search

The search filter. For example:

(&(sAMAccountName=KBOX_USER_NAME)(memberOf=CN=financial,DC=example,DC=com))

Credentials

An LDAP credential of the account the appliance uses to log in to the LDAP server to read accounts. Select from the list or create a new LDAP credential. For more information about LDAP credentials, see Add and edit LDAP User/Password credentials.

If you are unsure of the Base DN and Advanced Search information, use the LDAP Browser. See Use the LDAP Browser.

* 
NOTE: Negative search filters are formatted as follows: (!(sAMAccountName=David)). Any other format using negatives will result in an error.
3.
Click the Test button to test the new label. Change the label parameters and test again as needed.
4.
If the LDAP Label is ready to use, select the Enabled check box. Otherwise, save the label without enabling it.
5.
Click Save.
