Symptoms

If an LDAP server other than Active Directory is configured & selected as an LDAP AAA resource, the 'LDAP Group Resource Assign' macro in the Visual Policy Editor will fail to provide any LDAP groups that the administrator can assign resources to. Also, in the Access Policy :: AAA Servers :: LDAP Resource properties page, when one selects the 'Group' tab, there will be no groups displayed.

Impact

Administrators will not be able to use the LDAP Group Mapping functionality unless the backend LDAP server is Active Directory.

Conditions

An LDAP server other than Active Directory configured as an APM LDAP AAA resource.

Workaround

There is no workaround at this time other than to use Active Directory if possible.

Fix Information
