LDAP traffic interface

Hi Guys,

 

Wondering by default which interface it use to send LDAP requests? I have LDAP monitor setup and also a LDAP AAA setup. I can see LDAP monitor is sending traffic using south interfaces, on AD I can see successful auth attempts for system account used for LDAP monitor/AAA

 

However when a user try to authenticate against LDAP via APM policy authentication fails and we don't see any login attempts on AD, wondering if LDAP request by default send via south interface or via mgmt or different interface

    by default the management interface is only used for systems in the attached network or via management routes. and never with trying to reach it via load balancing processes, like you probably have a pool with AD servers now.

     

    is your AD server within your management network or reachable based on a management route?
