[FW-1] LDAP authentication for securemote

[Sidharth Bhadani]

Hi all ,   I have a problem regarding securemote users being authenticated by ldap. I need your expertise in a problem which I am facing. I will be thankful if anyone of you could help me on this . I am using the document “Configuring Microsoft AD to work with FP2.pdf” for configuring LDAP integration with checkpoint NG FP2.   Now the issue is that when I connect using securemote I can use a ldap user to authenticate. I get a response saying “user authenticated by the firewall” but when I try to connect to internal resources it fails, even though my rule base allows an external group user which is bound to the ldap server to access internal recourses. I suspect that checkpoint is not recognizing the external group users which is bound to the ldap unit.. Could anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?   Appreciate any pointers.   Thanks and regards Sid
