Authenticating Users with Google Cloud Identity

Google Cloud Identity LDAP service can be used to authenticate users on AZTCO-FW software installations.

The method varies depending on the version of AZTCO-FW software installed on the firewall. This is due to the fact that Google Cloud Identity requires a client certificate to make a secure LDAP connection.

  • Firewalls running AZTCO-FW factory software version 2.4.4-RELEASE-p1 or later can use a client certificate di- rectly on LDAP authentication sources.
    • Firewalls running AZTCO-FW CE or AZTCO-FW factory software version 2.4.4-RELEASE require the stunnel package to make a secure LDAP connection.

Configuring a firewall running AZTCO-FW software to use G Suite LDAP authentication requires a number of steps, all of which are covered in this document.
