Step 42 In the User groups for legacy users fields, define the user groups that correspond to the
legacy ‘VPN users,’ ‘VPN client users,’ ‘L2TP users’ and ‘users with Internet access’ privileges.
When a user in one of the given user groups is authenticated, the remote SonicWALL security
appliances will be informed that the user is to be given the relevant privilege.
Note The ‘Bypass filters’ and ‘Limited management capabilities’ privileges are returned based on
membership to user groups named ‘Content Filtering Bypass’ and ‘Limited Administrators’
– these are not configurable.
Step 43 Select the Test tab.
The ‘Test’ page allows for the configured LDAP settings to
be tested by attempting
authentication with specified user and password credentials. Any user group memberships and/
or framed IP address configured on the LDAP/AD server for the user will be displayed.
Step 44 In the Username and Password fields, enter a valid LDAP login name for the LDAP server you
configured.
Step 45 Select Password authentication or CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol).
Note CHAP only works with a server that supports retrieving user passwords using LDAP and in
some cases requires that the LDAP server to be configured to store passwords reversibly.
CHAP cannot be used with Active Directory.
Step 46 Click Test. Status and information returned from the LDAP server are displayed in the Test
Status, Message from LDAP, and Returned User Attributes fields.
