LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) authentication involves several steps: Bind Request, Search Request, and Bind Response.
The Bind Request is used to authenticate the client to the LDAP server.
The Search Request is used to find the directory entry that matches the provided criteria.
Analyzing the Exhibit:
The exhibit shows a real-time LDAP debug output.
The debug log includes a successful resolution of the LDAP FQDN, indicating that the LDAP server was reached.
The debug log also shows the start of a search using the distinguished name (DN) base and a filter to locate the userjsmith.
Conclusion:
Since FortiOS successfully resolved the LDAP server and initiated a search for the userjsmith, it indicates that the LDAP server was located, and the search request was performed.
