Test G Suite Authentication

With the complete configuration described above, it is now possible to authenticate against Google G Suite LDAP. First, test the authentication to ensure it is working properly.

• Navigate to Diagnostics > Authentication
• Set the Authentication server to the name used for the LDAP Server entry, such as G Suite
• Enter a known username and password on the domain that G Suite controls

Note: By default only the username part of the login is checked against the configured LDAP base DN. If a username is submitted with a domain part, for example [email protected], the @example.com part is ignored.

Click  Test

The user should show as authenticating successfully, and if the user entered is a member of the fwadmins group in G Suite, that should also be reflected in the test output.

If the test succeeds, the service is ready for use. AZTCO-FW can use it as an authentication source for the GUI, for VPNs, or anywhere the user manager authentication servers work.

If the test fails, check the main system log for error messages from LDAP. Start from the beginning of this document and compare all settings between this document, G Suite, and AZTCO-FW. Most common problems are with parameters being input incorrectly, such as selecting the wrong certificate, using an incorrect LDAP attribute name, or not using correct bind credentials.
