  • It is recommended that you create a separate user account (e.g, bind_user) instead of admin for sharing Bind credentials with other services. The bind_user should be a member of the lldap_strict_readonly group to limit access to your LDAP configuration in LLDAP.

Filters

• Basic filter: (objectClass=person)
• Username field: uid
• Group filter: (objectClass=groupOfUniqueNames)
• Group name field: member

Group Security (Optional)

If Group Security is disabled, all users authenticated via LDAP will be given the "User" role.

Group Security is an optional configuration for LLDAP users. It provides a simple 1:1 mapping between LDAP groups, and PowerDNS roles.
