LDAP Integration

Deep Edge supports the most common Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) vendors: Microsoft and Linux. Using an LDAP server, it is very convenient to create user- or group-specific policies with Deep Edge. Event logs, reports, and notifications will use your LDAP hierarchies for user identification.

LDAP Authentication Method

LDAP settings let administrators designate which LDAP servers are integrated with Deep Edge. Deep Edge uses the designated LDAP servers to do the following:

• Authenticate users to be identified in the captive portal

• Use a Domain Controller agent to query the DC event log

• Use a Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) client query for the administrator’s account

• Use policy settings and policy matching for user/group policies

To simplify user's configuration for LDAP, Deep Edge offers Basic and Advanced methods of LDAP authentication.
