How do I fix an LDAP authentication failure in a FortiAnalyzer lab?

If you are configuring LDAP in a FortiAnalyzer lab, you may receive the message “Authentication cannot contact the LDAP server”.

The DN doesn’t appear in the LDAP browser window.

You must enter the complete username, not just the user ID, in the Username field:

uid=fazadmin,ou=Training,dc=trainingAD,dc=training,dc=lab

For example:

Note: The IP address is masked for security reasons.

Eventually, the LDAP server you added will appear in the Remote Authentication Server window.
