Synology NAS LDAP

Here's how to set up Synology NAS authentication with LDAP, powered by Foxpass.

First, log into Foxpass and do the following:

1. Note your Base DN on the dashboard page. Copy/paste it somewhere.
2. Create an LDAP Binder account with the name 'synology' on the LDAP binders page. Copy/paste the generated password! It is only displayed once.

Synology LDAP configuration:

• Bring up the Control Panel
• Choose Domain/LDAP from the left side
• Choose 'LDAP' in the top tab
• LDAP Server address: ldap.foxpass.com
• Encryption: SSL
• Base DN: (your Base DN, e.g. dc=example,dc=com)
• Profile: Custom
• Click 'Edit' next to Profile
• For the 'Mapping Target' of filter -> passwd, enter objectClass=inetOrgPerson
• For the 'Mapping Target' of filter -> shadow, enter objectClass=inetOrgPerson

• For the 'Mapping Target' of group -> gidNumber, enter HASH(cn)

• For the 'Mapping Target' of passwd -> gidNumber, enter HASH(entryUUID)
• Click 'Apply'
• Click 'Apply'
• It will prompt for a Bind DN and a password
• For Bind DN, enter the Binder account you made above, in this format: cn=synology,[ your base dn ] (e.g. cn=synology,dc=example,dc=com)
• Enter the generated password from above.
