openLDAP Server Integration with FortiGate 40F

Hello,

 

I've configured an openLDAP Server on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and am trying to integrate it with my FortiGate 40F Firewall.

 

When set to Bind Type "Simple" it gets a connection status of successful. However, when I try to connect with Bind Type set to regular, and input a username and password created via openLDAP I get an Invalid DN syntax error.

 

Has anyone here successfully connected a 40F to an openLDAP server? What did you have to do to get it to work?FortiLDAP2.JPG

The Common Name Identifier should be just "cn" , "uid" or whichever attribute you want to be searching for.

 

Example:

 

config user ldap     edit ldap-server         set cnid cn     next end

 

 

There could be other misconfigurations, but you may have masked them with the blue marker. Can't help with those ;-).
