Directory Services
3. Select Basic Config -> Directory Services -> LDAP Relay on the menu.
There are two different ways to provide LDAP support for SMTP authentication, using Bind, or
querying the LDAP server directly.
Note: The Bind method will only work with Active Directory and iPlanet implementations.
The Query Direct method will only work with OpenLDAP.
• Bind — The Bind method will use the User ID and password to authenticate on a successful
bind. The Query Filter must specify the User ID with a %s variable, such as
(sAMAccountName=%s) for Active Directory. The Result Attribute must be a User ID such as
sAMAccountName. Enter corresponding values specific to your LDAP environment.
For iPlanet, use uid=%s for Query Filter, and mail for Result Attribute.
• Query Directly — The Query Direct method will query the LDAP server directly to
authenticate a user ID and password. The Query Filter must specify the user ID, and the Result
Attribute must specify the password.
For OpenLDAP, use uid=%s for Query Filter, and userPassword for Result Attribute.
For either method, the relay will be refused if the LDAP server direct query or bind attempt fails
for any reason, such as an invalid user name or password, bad query, or if the LDAP server is not
responding.
Select a method, and then click Add to add an entry.
Note: You can only use one method, Bind or Query Direct, for all defined LDAP servers.
You cannot use both at the same time.
