LDAP Messages sent from ISE to LDAP/AD

[mnazeeh]

Hi All,

Would anyone be able to comment in understanding which of these below LDAP messages would be possibly sent from ISE to LDAP/AD? This would be an information which one of my customers is looking out for, and currently we don't have any document which points me to the right direction.

Table 3. Summary Table of LDAP Messages between Consumer and Supplier The table below lists the common LDAP messages and for each there will be a corresponding detailed Data layout in the following section .
Message #	Message Name	Source/Via/Destination eg. Consumer/Middleware/Supplier	Table Reference
	NonUserAuthN	Consumer > Supplier	Table 4
	PrimaryUserAuthN	Consumer > Supplier	Table 5
	SecondaryUserAuthN	Consumer > Supplier	Table 6
	AuthN Response	Supplier > Consumer	Table 7
	SearchForUserDN	Consumer > Supplier	Table 8
	SearchForUserData	Consumer > Supplier	Table 9
	SearchForUserInGroup	Consumer > Supplier	Table 10
	SearchForGroupData	Consumer > Supplier	Table 11
	SearchResultsEntry & Response	Supplier > Consumer	Table 12
	Retrieve User Organisational Information.	Supplier > Consumer	Table 13
	CompareUserInGroup	Consumer > Supplier	Table 14
	CompareUserInGroupResponse	Supplier > Consumer	Table 15
	ModifyRequest	Consumer > Supplier	Table 16
	ModifyResponse	Supplier > Consumer	Table 17
	AddRequest	Consumer > Supplier	Table 18
	AddResponse	Supplier > Consumer	Table 19
	DelRequest	Consumer > Supplier	Table 20
	DelResponse	Supplier > Consumer	Table 21
	SearchForOrganisationalGroupData	Supplier > Consumer	Table 22

Any help or advise on this would be highly appreciated.

Thanks!

These do not appear in any of LDAP or Microsoft AD documents I can find on the net so they must be some proprietary messaging used by the customer's application infrastructure and I do not think ISE supporting them at all.

hslai Thank you for the response.

Would you also be able to point me in the direction in understanding the LDAP messages sent from ISE to LDAP/AD? It would also be helpful if a document containing the same could be provided.

ISE is compliant with LDAPv3 ( RFC 451). ISE uses both AD and LDAP for authentications and attribute lookups. If you has partner permissions on the communities, you may check out [ISE Lab Guide] ISE Active Directory Integration.

Thank you very much.

I'll have a look at the ISE LAB Guide.
