To configure FTP to use LDAP, follow these steps:
1. Install an FTP server that supports LDAP authentication, such as VSFTPD or FileZilla Server.
2. Configure your LDAP server with the necessary user accounts and groups.
3. In the FTP server configuration file, specify the LDAP server’s IP address or hostname and port number, along with any required authentication parameters (such as a bind DN and password).
4. Configure the FTP server to use LDAP for user authentication and authorization. This typically involves specifying the LDAP search base and filter to locate user accounts, as well as a mapping between LDAP groups and FTP permission sets.
5. Test the configuration by attempting to connect to the FTP server using an LDAP user account.
Note that the specific steps for configuring FTP and LDAP may vary depending on the FTP server software and LDAP server you are using. It is recommended that you consult the documentation for your chosen software or seek assistance from a qualified IT professional.
