A few years back, my colleague Holger Füßler has a bang-up job of blogging about Citrix NetScaler capabilities to monitor the secure LDAP server.
Since then, the facilities have not done anything in this area, but in NetScaler, and that is to improve good news! With the release of 11.0 recently, and the first released Build-55.23-there is a new function Secure LDAP monitor natively without the modification of Perl scripts, as was required in the original blog post.
Now, it is the ticking of a checkbox and away we go!
Here's the recipe!
1. Add a new monitor of Traffic Management> Monitors
2. Select LDAP from the drop-down list
3. Check the safe option to the ground
4. Click Special to the parameter tab
5. Select nsldap.pl from the script name drop-down list
6. Fill the base DN Bind DN and password fields
7. Click create
8. Next is our load balancing service. Navigate to Traffic Management> Load Balancing> Services and click Add .
9. In this example, I use a SSL_TCP service on TCP port 636 for secure LDAP populate the IP address of the server to monitor, selecting SSL_TCP from the protocol [is drop-down list and the change of connection box 636. another configuration option SSL_TCP with TCP port 389 for LDAP over TLS. Click OK when happy with your selections.
10. Next, we need to bind the monitor that we created. Navigate to the monitors section and click to load on 1 Service Balancing monitor binding .
11. Click Add bond
12. Click Select Monitor
13. click the radio button for the new monitor and click Select .
14. Click Bind and then Close .
15. Voila! They have monitored a new service who successfully secure LDAP server! Feel free to bind it to an exit or create a new virtual server, and you are good to go!
'Until next time,
