Configuring the role search parameters

Last Updated : Apr 26, 2018 |

About this task

This procedure describes how to configure the LDAP role search parameters when Microsoft Active Directory (AD) is used.

Role search for Avaya Aura® Web Gateway users are really about finding the associated role strings for a user in LDAP. For AD, this is about the user group names that a user belongs to.

In Microsoft Active Directory, the DNs of the groups that a user belongs to are stored in the memberOf attribute of a user. The memberOf attribute also stores the Exchange mailing lists that a user belongs to. Conversely, the group objects that the user belongs to contain a member attribute that stores the DNs of all of the users and sub-groups that are members of this group.

Procedure

  1. Run the Avaya Aura® Web Gateway configuration utility using the app configure command.
  2. Select LDAP Configuration > Advanced LDAP parameters.
  3. Configure the parameter settings as described in Parameter settings.
  4. Configure the attributes as described in Role configuration.
