LDAP Configuration

The basic LDAP configuration allows the configuration of the LDAP server for the postfix mail server. This can be a remote LDAP server found on another EnGarde machine running Secure Mail Suite or it can be the local LDAP server.

• [Note:]The LDAP server can be located on a machine not running EnGarde only if the LDAP server's directory structure follows that of Secure Mail Suite's LDAP server.

LDAP Server

This entry box requires either the IP address or FQDN of the LDAP server. If the LDAP server is located on the current machine a value of localhost may be used.

Distinguished Name

The Distinguished Name is the top level search DN that Postfix will be using. If the LDAP server is on an EnGarde box running Secure Mail Suite this will follow the format:

dc=machine_name,dc=domain,dc=com

Bind DN

If the LDAP server requires authentication this would be the ``user'' it would bind to. This Bind DN is dependent on the LDAP server's database configuration. If the LDAP server is located on an EnGarde machine running Secure Mail Suite this should be set to:

cn=admin,dc=machine_name,dc=domain,dc=com

Bind DN Password

This is the password that is associated with the Bind DN.

• [NOTE:]The hosts IP must be listed for LDAP under System Access Control found in the Security section of the WebTool. Information regarding System Access Control can be found in section 4.6.5 on page 144 of the EnGarde User Manual.

Aliases in LDAP

If this option is set to Enabled, Postfix can lookup aliases in the LDAP database. As well as in the local alias databases.

Alias Search Order

This option sets the priority search order that Postfix will use to find aliases. LDAP refers to the LDAP server and files refer to a file hash located on the local computer. Alias lookups can be configured in one or more local or remote LDAP databases.

Virtual Domains in LDAP

If this option is set to Enabled Postfix can lookup its virtual domain configurations in the LDAP database as well as in local virtual domain databases.

Virtual Domains Search Order

This option sets the priority search order that Postfix will use to find aliases. LDAP refers to the LDAP server and files refer to a file hash located on the local computer. Virtual domain lookups can be configured in one or more local or remote LDAP databases.

Once all configuration changes are made click the Save LDAP Configuration to save and apply the changes. Use the Reset LDAP Configuration button to reset everything to the factory defaults.
