Prerequisites

  • The altSecurityIdentities attribute is set in the user entry of ad_user.

  • The matchrule stipulates that the following conditions apply:

    • The certificate that ad_user uses to authenticate to AD was issued by AD-ROOT-CA of the ad.example.com domain.
    • The subject is <S>DC=com,DC=example,DC=ad,CN=Users,CN=ad_user:

  $ ldapsearch -o ldif-wrap=no -LLL -h adserver.ad.example.com \
  -p 389 -D cn=Administrator,cn=users,dc=ad,dc=example,dc=com \
  -W -b cn=users,dc=ad,dc=example,dc=com "(cn=ad_user)" \
  altSecurityIdentities
  Enter LDAP Password:
  dn: CN=ad_user,CN=Users,DC=ad,DC=example,DC=com
  altSecurityIdentities: X509:<I>DC=com,DC=example,DC=ad,CN=AD-ROOT-CA<S>DC=com,DC=example,DC=ad,CN=Users,CN=ad_user
