Synopsys

set aaa ldapParams [-serverIP <ip_addr|ipv6_addr|*>] [-serverPort <port>] [-authTimeout <positive_integer>] [-ldapBase <string>] [-ldapBindDn <string>] {-ldapBindDnPassword } [-ldapLoginName <string>] [-searchFilter <string>] [-groupAttrName <string>] [-subAttributeName <string>] [-secType <secType>] [-svrType ( AD | NDS )] [-ssoNameAttribute <string>] [-passwdChange ( ENABLED | DISABLED )] [-nestedGroupExtraction ( ON | OFF )] [-maxNestingLevel <positive_integer>] [-groupNameIdentifier <string>] [-groupSearchAttribute <string> [-groupSearchSubAttribute <string>]] [-groupSearchFilter <string>] [-defaultAuthenticationGroup <string>]

Arguments

serverIP

IP address of your LDAP server.

serverPort

Port number on which the LDAP server listens for connections.

Default value: 389

Minimum value: 1

authTimeout

Maximum number of seconds that the NetScaler appliance waits for a response from the LDAP server.

Default value: 3

Minimum value: 1

ldapBase

Base (the server and location) from which LDAP search commands should start.

If the LDAP server is running locally, the default value of base is dc=netscaler, dc=com.

ldapBindDn

Complete distinguished name (DN) string used for binding to the LDAP server.

ldapBindDnPassword

Password for binding to the LDAP server.

ldapLoginName

Name attribute that the NetScaler appliance uses to query the external LDAP server or an Active Directory.

searchFilter

String to be combined with the default LDAP user search string to form the value to use when executing an LDAP search.

For example, the following values:

vpnallowed=true,

ldaploginame=""samaccount""

when combined with the user-supplied username ""bob"", yield the following LDAP search string:

""(&(vpnallowed=true)(samaccount=bob)""

groupAttrName

Attribute name used for group extraction from the LDAP server.

subAttributeName

Possible values: PLAINTEXT, TLS, SSL

Default value: PLAINTEXT

svrType

The type of LDAP server.

Possible values: AD, NDS

Default value: AAA_LDAP_SERVER_TYPE_DEFAULT

nestedGroupExtraction

Queries the external LDAP server to determine whether the specified group belongs to another group.

Possible values: ON, OFF
