You can use an LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) authentication server to authenticate your users to your Firebox. LDAP is an open-standard protocol for use with online directory services, and it operates with Internet transport protocols such as TCP. WatchGuard LDAP authentication does not support LDAP over TLS. This topic describes how to configure Novell eDirectory to use with protocols other than TLS.
WatchGuard provides interoperability instructions to help our customers configure WatchGuard products to work with third-party products created by other organizations. If you need more information or technical support about configuring a non-WatchGuard product, consult the documentation and support resources for that product. WatchGuard cannot provide technical support for non-WatchGuard products.
