Cisco IronPort AsyncOS 7.6 for Email Configuration Guide
Chapter 3 Setup and Installation
If the System Setup Wizard properly installs the configuration on the Email Security appliance, the
Active Directory Wizard appears. If you are running an Active Directory server on your network, use the
Active Directory Wizard to configure an LDAP server profile for the Active Directory server and assign
a listener for recipient validation. If you are not using Active Directory or want to configure it later, click
Skip this Step. You can run the Active Directory Wizard on the System Administration > Active
Directory Wizard page. You can also configure Active Directory and other LDAP profiles on the System
Administration > LDAP page.
The Active Directory Wizard retrieves the system information needed to create an LDAP server profile,
such as the authentication method, the port, the base DN, and whether SSL is supported. The Active
Directory Wizard also creates LDAP accept and group queries for the LDAP server profile.
After the Active Directory Wizard creates the LDAP server profile, use the System Administration >
LDAP page to view the new profile and make additional changes.
Step 1 On the Active Directory Wizard page, click Run Active Directory Wizard.

Test Directory Settings page is displayed.
