Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is a standard
protocol for accessing information directories. You can Configure
LDAP Authentication for end users and for firewall and Panorama
administrators.
Configuring the firewall to connect to an LDAP server also enables
you to define policy rules based on users and user groups instead
of just IP addresses. For the steps, see Map
Users to Groups and Enable
User- and Group-Based Policy.
