Hello Community,

 

i am absolute newbie to Fotigate. My network configuration is as follows:

 

The domain controller is located at the NAS1 192.168.17.201, the domain is local.XXXX.it.

 

My DNS settings are as follows: 

 

However, when I ping my domain controller with execute ping local.XXXX.it I get a response from the IP of the host of my website www.XXXX.it (courtesy page). What is wrong here?

 

In fact, I cannot register to the LDAP Server:

 

Anyone can help?

 

Thanks in advance.

    I'm guessing you are following one of the SSO LDAP cookbooks?

     

    Cookbook | FortiGate / FortiOS 6.2.7 | Fortinet Documentation Library

     

    One thing I noticed - your user name for your LDAP authentication is in the NT/LANMan format of Domain\Username

     

    This (for LDAP auth) should be in a distinguished name format.

     

     

    This might help:

    I have tried with cn=administrator, DC=local, DC=XXXX, DC=it and it still does not work.
