openLDAP Server Integration with FortiGate 40F

[MasterChief117]

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?

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 ;-).
