Configuring LDAP Integration in SonicOS Enhanced
Integrating your SonicWALL appliance with an LDAP directory service requires configuring your
LDAP server for certificate management, installing the correct certificate on your SonicWALL
appliance, and configuring the SonicWALL appliance to use the information from the LDAP
Server. For an introduction to LDAP, see “Using LDAP / Active Directory / eDirectory
Authentication” on page 999.
See the following sections:
• “Preparing Your LDAP Server for Integration” on page 1046
• “Configuring the SonicWALL Appliance for LDAP” on page 1047
Preparing Your LDAP Server for Integration
Before beginning your LDAP configuration, you should prepare your LDAP server and your
SonicWALL for LDAP over TLS support. This requires:
• Installing a server certificate on your LDAP server.
• Installing a CA (Certificate Authority) certificate for the issuing CA on your SonicWALL
appliance.
The following procedures describe how to perform these tasks in an Active Directory
envir
