LDAP servers

LDAP is an Internet protocol used to maintain authentication data that can include departments, people, groups of people, passwords, email addresses, and printers. LDAP consists of a data-representation scheme, a set of defined operations, and a request/response network.

FortiIsolator uses Windows AD server with LDAP enabled and applies Fortinet Single Sign On Agent to authenticate users on remote servers when accessing websites through FortiIsolator.

To manage LDAP servers on FortiIsolator, go to Users > LDAP Server.
