LDAP Authentication

TurboFTP Server allows authentication against an external LDAP server.

Host

The host address of the LDAP server. It can be either an IP address or a domain name.

Port

Enter the port number for the host. It will be defaulted to standard LDAP server port 389 or SSL port 636.

Bind DN

The DN (Distinguished Name) is used to bind to the LDAP server to perform the LDAP search, which is required to synchronize the user list of the domain. It will be used together with Bind Password.

Bind Password

Enter the password for the binding DN.

Base

Enter the base name to begin the LDAP search, which is required to retrieve the user list or authenticate a user against an LDAP server.

Login Attribute

The login attribute name, defaulted to 'uid'. The user can then use the login attribute value as the user name to log into TurboFTP Server.

Anonymous bind

Perform an anonymous bind to the LDAP server. If enabled, Bind DN and Bind Password fields will be ignored. Due to security reasons, anonymous bind is disabled on most LDAP servers.

Use SSL/TLS

If enabled, communication with the LDAP server is protected by an SSL/TLS layer.

User Filter

The filter used to perform a search on the LDAP server. Defaulted to "(objectClass=person)".

Test Button

The test button allows you to test a login account using the current LDAP server configuration.
