Checkpoint Openldap connection

Mlinko — Mon, 21 Oct 2024 07:51:39 GMT

Dear all,

did someone manage to "bind/connect" the Checkpoint with Openldap (Metadir) similar as it works with AD Intergration with Identity Awareness?

We tried it last week but we couldn't make it work. Any insight would be welcome!

Thank you!

You should be able to retrieve groups from an OpenLDAP server (not that I've tried, but we actually use OpenLDAP under the hood, I believe).
To determine who is at a given IP, we read from either WMI (AD Query, no longer recommended) or the Windows Security Logs (Identity Collector).
OpenLDAP does not have either of those.

If RADIUS Accounting is involved, you might be able to make this work.
Has anyone done this to my knowledge? No.
