Chapter 22 LDAP Queries
Configuring External LDAP Authentication for Users
When you configure the LDAP profile to query for group membership, enter the base DN for the
directory level where group records can be found, the attribute that holds the group member’s username,
and the attribute that contains the group name. Based on the server type that you select for your LDAP
server profile, AysncOS enters default values for the username and group name attributes, as well default
query strings.

and the attribute that contains the group name. Based on the server type that you select for your LDAP
server profile, AysncOS enters default values for the username and group name attributes, as well default
query strings.
Note
For Active Directory servers, the default query string to determine if a user is a member of a group is
(&(objectClass=group)(member={u}))
. However, if your LDAP schema uses distinguished names in
the “memberof” list instead of usernames, you can use
{dn}
instead of
{u}
.
