-
Navigate to System Settings -> Admin -> Remote Authentication Server -> Create New -> LDAP Server.
-
Enter the details of the LDAP server:
Enter the FQDN of the server name in the Server Name/IP field.
Make sure FortiManager/FortiAnalyzer DNS can resolve the FQDN.

-
Once done, select Query and verify if able to query the LDAP correctly.

Test Scenario:
Go to FortiManager/FortiAnalyzer GUI and login with LDAP user.
Troubleshooting guide:
- Generally, there will be three problems that might cause LDAP issues:
- LDAP server configuration.
- FortiManager/FortiAnalyzer LDAP settings.
- Network connectivity issue.
To check on LDAP debug, look for any error message from the debug output:
Enable debugging from FortiManager/FortiAnalyzer:
diagnose debug application auth 8
diagnose debug timestamp enable
diagnose debug enable
Once enable debug log is, login with the LDAP user and verify the debug output log.
Sample output:
Wira-kvm13 # diag debug application auth 8
Wira-kvm13 # di de timestamp en
Wira-kvm13 # di de en
Wira-kvm13 # 2023-04-16 22:23:10

To disable debug output:
diag debug disable
-
To check the network connectivity issue, run packet capture from GUI or CLI to verify the connection. From GUI, go to System Settings -> Network -> Packet Capture. From CLI, run the below sniffer packet command:
diagnose sniffer packet any “host <server_ip> and port <ldap_port>” 4 0 l
