LDAP Authenticator Module

The GreenRADIUS LDAP Authenticator Module enables a way to implement two-factor authentication for applications and services that support authentication requests over the LDAP protocol. At times, it is advantageous to integrate third-party applications and services over LDAP instead of RADIUS, Web APIs, or other ways.

Prerequisites

  • GreenRADIUS v5.3.1.1 or above
  • GreenRADIUS license that enables the LDAP Authenticator Module
  • If GreenRADIUS has multiple domains configured on the Domain tab, only the users in the default domain will be able to log in
  • Certificate installed in GreenRADIUS from a trusted CA
  • Third-party application that supports authentication requests over the LDAP protocol

Steps To Configure the LDAP Authenticator Module

  1. Click on the Global Configuration tab. Then click the LDAP Authenticator Module icon.

  2. Enter the following configuration parameters:
