Question

LDAP setup in root (mngmt) vdom. How can I get my 2nd VDOM to use that LDAP?

I've setup my Fortigate using two VDOMs:

 

1) Root (management)

2) WEB-FILTER (Transparent)

 

Due to the WEB-FILTER being setup as transparent I've setup access and the LDAP server in the root VDOM. 

Now I want the WEB-FILTER VDOM to be able to authenticate users (for web filtering) using the LDAP group setup in the ROOT vdom. I can't seem to get this to work however.  Is there an easy way for me to just use the LDAP details already setup in the root VDOM?

Thanks

    Hello,

     

    You need to make a custom inter-vdom link :
