Cloud Edge
provides a simple LDAP configuration for the most widely used LDAP service: Microsoft
Active
Directory (AD). If you use AD, then input the basic information into Cloud Edge Cloud Console to configure the user identification
method: domain name, user name, and password.
With this information, Cloud Edge uses the AD auto-discover tool to obtain the necessary
information, including:
- LDAP server addresses
- Base domain name
- Authentication information (Kerberos realm/domain/KDC)
That information populates the Advanced LDAP Authentication fields. If an
Administrator decides that the auto-discovered result is incorrect or does not work,
the
Administrator can switch to Advanced Mode and modify the settings.
For LDAP server addresses, the auto-discovery tool determines all of the Domain Controllers
for
the domain, and Cloud Edge selects and uses the two fastest
servers.
