Define how Trellix ESM authenticates users to an LDAP server.

OpenLDAP is the supported LDAP implementation.

  1. From the Trellix ESM dashboard, click menu.png and select System Properties.

  2. Click Login Security.

  3. Click the LDAP tab.

  4. Enable LDAP authentication.

    Note

    When enabled, all users except the system administrator must authenticate with the LDAP server. If LDAP is disabled, users set up for LDAP authentication can't access the system.

    • Type the IP address for the LDAP server.

    • If needed, change the server port.

    • Choose whether to use encryption protocol (TLS or SSL).

    • Type the domain to check for credentials.

    • Attribute where the user's group information is stored. Usually, this field does not need to be changed.

    • Choose filters to use to collect user or group information. You can include or exclude specific groups or users from the search results.
