When you expire the authentication cache for a user(s), those users will be
required to re-authenticate before they can again access any authenticated
services.
Note: Subsequent authentication requests by an expired user will be cached when
they re-authenticate, allowing them to again use SSO authentication.
Setting up LDAP authentication
To configure LDAP authentication on the Sidewinder G2, in the Admin Console
select Services Configuration > Authentication, and click Configure LDAP.
The following window appears.
This window is used to configure your Sidewinder G2 to work with an LDAP
server. The top left portion of the window displays a list of any current LDAP
servers you have defined. To configure the general LDAP properties for all of
the defined LDAP servers, follow the steps below.
1 Define and rank the LDAP/Active Directory servers to use for authentication.
Sidewinder G2 always uses the server ranked first, unless it is unavailable.
Note: See “Configuring the Domain Controller Configuration window” on page
290 for instructions on adding or modifying an LDAP server entry.
• To add a new server, click New.
• To modify an existing server, select the server and click Modify.
• To delete an existing server, select the server and click Delete.
