Cisco Cisco Email Security Appliance X1070 Mode D'Emploi

The default port is 3268. This is the default port for Active Directory that 
enables it to access the global catalog in a multi-server environment. 

Enter a Base DN (distinguishing name) for the LDAP server.

If you authenticate with a username and a password, the username must 
include the full DN to the entry that contains the password. For example, a 
user is a member of the marketing group with an email address of 
joe@example.com. The entry for this user would look like the following 
entry:

uid=joe, ou=marketing, dc=example dc=com

Select whether to use SSL when communicating with the LDAP server.

Under Advanced, enter cache time-to-live. This value represents the amount of 
time to retain caches.

Enter the maximum number of retained cache entries. 

Enter a maximum number of simultaneous connections. 

If you configure the LDAP server profile for load balancing, these 
connections are distributed among the listed LDAP servers. For example, if 
you configure 10 simultaneous connections and load balance the connections 
over three servers, AsyncOS creates 10 connections to each server, for a total 
of 30 connections. 

The maximum number of simultaneous connections includes LDAP 
connections used for LDAP queries. However, the appliance may open 
more connections if you use LDAP authentication for the IronPort Spam 
Quarantine.

Test the connection to the server by clicking the Test Server(s) button. If you 
specified multiple LDAP servers, they are all tested. The results of the test appear 
in the Connection Status field. For more information, see 

Create queries by marking the checkbox and completing the fields. You can select 
Accept, Routing, Masquerade, Group, SMTP Authentication, External 
Authentication, Spam Quarantine End-User Authentication, and Spam 
Quarantine Alias Consolidation.
