# NetAuth LDAP Server
|
||||
|
||||
The NetAuth LDAP server acts as a bridge that allows legacy systems
|
||||
that understand LDAP to gain a read-only view of data in the NetAuth
|
||||
server.
|
||||
|
||||
It is recommended to install the NetAuth LDAP server on each host that
|
||||
requires this interface and to bind it to the loopback interface.
|
||||
|
||||
The format that the LDAP bridge exposes data in is slightly different
|
||||
to that which is presented to an actual NetAuth client. The groups
|
||||
are presented in a flattened format with all expansions processed, and
|
||||
all groups are precented under a special `cn=groups` path. Similarly,
|
||||
entities are presented under a `cn=entities` path under the base DN.
|
||||
|
||||
Speaking of the base DN, NetAuth doesn't have such a concept, so the
|
||||
LDAP bridge takes this as a seperate configuration item on startup.
|
||||
The provided format must be a valid domain name that will be split on
|
||||
`.`. Prepended to this will be `dc=netauth` to clearly signify that
|
||||
the data retrieved is coming from NetAuth.
