An authentication policy for users whose credentials are managed by a remote LDAP directory service.
Authentication attempts will be redirected to the remote LDAP directory service based on a combination of the criteria specified in this policy and the content of the user's entry in this directory server.
Parent Component
The LDAP Pass Through Authentication Policy component inherits from the Authentication Policy
Relations From this Component
The following components have a direct AGGREGATION relation FROM LDAP Pass Through Authentication Policies :
Specifies the name of a password storage scheme which should be used for encoding cached passwords. Changing the password storage scheme will cause all existing cached passwords to be discarded.
Default Value
None
Allowed Values
The DN of any Password Storage Scheme. The referenced password storage schemes must be enabled.

cached-password-ttl
Description
Specifies the maximum length of time that a locally cached password may be used for authentication before it is refreshed from the remote LDAP service. This property represents a cache timeout. Increasing the timeout period decreases the frequency that bind operations are delegated to the remote LDAP service, but increases the risk of users authenticating using stale passwords. Note that authentication attempts which fail because the provided password does not match the locally cached password will always be retried against the remote LDAP service.
Specifies the timeout used when connecting to remote LDAP directory servers, performing SSL negotiation, and for individual search and bind requests. If the timeout expires then the current operation will be aborted and retried against another LDAP server if one is available.
Specifies one or more attributes in the user's entry whose value(s) will determine the bind DN used when authenticating to the remote LDAP directory service. This property is mandatory when using the "mapped-bind" or "mapped-search" mapping policies. At least one value must be provided. All values must refer to the name or OID of an attribute type defined in the directory server schema. At least one of the named attributes must exist in a user's local entry in order for authentication to proceed. When multiple attributes or values are found in the user's entry then the behavior is determined by the mapping policy.
Default Value
None
Allowed Values
The name of an attribute type defined in the server schema.

mapping-policy
Description
Specifies the mapping algorithm for obtaining the bind DN from the user's entry.
Default Value
unmapped
Allowed Values
mapped-bind - Bind to the remote LDAP directory service using a DN obtained from an attribute in the user's entry. This policy will check each attribute named in the "mapped-attribute" property. If more than one attribute or value is present then the first one will be used.
mapped-search - Bind to the remote LDAP directory service using the DN of an entry obtained using a search against the remote LDAP directory service. The search filter will comprise of an equality matching filter whose attribute type is the "mapped-attribute" property, and whose assertion value is the attribute value obtained from the user's entry. If more than one attribute or value is present then the filter will be composed of multiple equality filters combined using a logical OR (union).
unmapped - Bind to the remote LDAP directory service using the DN of the user's entry in this directory server.

primary-remote-ldap-server
Description

use-tcp-keep-alive
Description
Indicates whether LDAP connections should use TCP keep-alive. If enabled, the SO_KEEPALIVE socket option is used to indicate that TCP keepalive messages should periodically be sent to the client to verify that the associated connection is still valid. This may also help prevent cases in which intermediate network hardware could silently drop an otherwise idle client connection, provided that the keepalive interval configured in the underlying operating system is smaller than the timeout enforced by the network hardware.

true

use-tcp-no-delay
Description
Indicates whether LDAP connections should use TCP no-delay. If enabled, the TCP_NODELAY socket option is used to ensure that response messages to the client are sent immediately rather than potentially waiting to determine whether additional response messages can be sent in the same packet. In most cases, using the TCP_NODELAY socket option provides better performance and lower response times, but disabling it may help for some cases in which the server sends a large number of entries to a client in response to a search request.
