Creating an administrator that can be authenticated by an LDAP server

Creating an administrator that can be authenticated by an LDAP server

You can configure a least privileges user account (read access only) in Active Directory for FortiProxy admin users which can be authenticated by an LDAP server:

  1. Configure an LDAP server. See Create or edit an LDAP server. Alternatively, use the configure user ldap command.
  2. To allow only a particular group of members to login to the FortiProxy as administrators, configure an LDAP user group under User & Authentication > User Group to limit the access. Alternatively, use the configure user group command.
  3. Configure an administrator to authenticate with the LDAP server under System > Administrators. See Administrators. Alternatively, use the config system admin command.
  4. Verify the configuration is successful by accessing the FortiProxy GUI using the credentials of the configured LDAP user(s).
