Description
This article describes how to use an LDAP server on FortiADC for an administrator user.
Scope
FortiADC.
Solution
To use a LDAP server for any FortiADC administrator, follow these steps: Using an LDAP authentication server
Create a LDAP server on FortiADC:
For example:
config user ldap
edit MyLdap
get
server: 172.15.29.112
port: 389
cnid: uid
dn: cn=Users,dc=tac,dc=mex
vdom: root
The FortiADC is using the 'cn' for the username. That means that FortiADC does not work with any other attribute yet. The user 'cn' contains blank spaces and FortiADC does not permit to create this kind of users
To have 'cn' field without this blank spaces on ldap server, as below:
CN=usuario1,CN=Users,DC=tac,DC=mex
Go to System -> Administrator and create a new user:
config system admin
edit "usuario1"
set vdom root
set auth-strategy ldap
set ldap-server MyLdap
set access-profile super_admin_prof
next
end
Use this LDAP user to log on to FortiADC.
