Need to integrate Active Directory with Data Loss Prevention

Resolution

1. 1. Start by logging into the Enforce Console
   2. Go to System > Settings > Directory Connections
   3. Click on "Add Conneciton"
       
   4. Enter a name used to reference the connection "Directory Connection" for example. This name is simply used to display this connection in the list.
   5. Enter the Hostname or IP Address of your LDAP Server in the "Hostname" field.
   6. Next Enter the port used for your LDAP Server. Port 389 is the standard port for unencrypted traffic.
   7. If you wish to use Secure LDAP, then you will need to set the port to 636.
      • NOTE: if you are using Secure LDAP you will need to import your LDAP Certificate into the "cacerts" keystore found in your "java/lib/security" directory.
   8. Enter in your Base DN, this is the target area or "folder" within LDAP that you will be connecting to. (CN=Users,DC=<domain>) for example would target the Domain Users.
   9. If you are using Secure LDAP be sure to check the "Use Secure Connection (SSL)"
   10. Next if Credentials are required, go ahead and check the "Connect with Credentials" and fill out the username and password fields.
   11. At this point your "Test Connection" button should be highlighted and ready to test the information and see if we can connect.
