LDAP
The Sentry family of products supports Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Version 3. This
support enables authentication with LDAP servers; user accounts do not need to be individually created
locally on each Sentry device.
This allows administrators to pre-define and configure (in each Sentry product, and in the LDAP
server) a set of necessary LDAP Groups, and access rights for each. User’s access rights can then be
assigned or revoked simply by making the user a member of one-or-more pre-defined Sentry LDAP
Groups. User accounts can be added, deleted, or changed in the LDAP server without any changes
needed on individual Sentry products.
Sentry 5.3b LDAP support has been tested in the following environments:
• Microsoft Active Directory (MSAD)
• Novell eDirectory (eDir)
• OpenLDAP
