Cisco Cisco Email Security Appliance C160 Mode D'Emploi

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 Cisco 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.

To allow the Cisco IronPort appliance to run LDAP queries when you receive or send messages, 
you must enable the LDAP query on the appropriate listener. For more information, see 

Test a query by clicking the Test Query button. 

Enter the test parameters and click Run Test. The results of the test appear in the Connection Status 
field. If you make any changes to the query definition or attributes, click Update. For more 
information, see 

.

If you have configured the LDAP server to allow binds with empty passwords, the query can pass 
the test with an empty password field.

Submit and commit your changes.

Although the number of server configurations is unlimited, you can configure only one recipient 
acceptance, one routing, one masquerading, and one group query per server.

Use the Test Server(s) button on the Add/Edit LDAP Server Profile page (or the 

test

 subcommand of 

the 

ldapconfig

 command in the CLI) to test the connection to the LDAP server. AsyncOS displays a 

message stating whether the connection to the server port succeeded or failed. If you configured multiple 
LDAP servers, AsyncOS tests each server and displays individual results.

To allow the Cisco IronPort appliance to run LDAP queries when you receive or send messages, you 
must enable the LDAP query on the appropriate listener.
