Creating a Chain Query

Tip	You can also use the advanced subcommand of the ldapconfig command in the CLI.

Procedure

Step 1

[New Web Interface Only] On the Security Management appliance, click to load the legacy web interface.

Step 2

Choose Management Appliance > System Administration > LDAP > LDAP Server.

Step 3

From the LDAP Server Profiles page, click Advanced.

Step 4

Click Add Chained Query.

Step 5

Enter a name for the chain query.

Step 6

Select the query type.

When you create a chain query, all of its component queries have the same query type. After you select a query type, the query field drop-down lists display the appropriate queries from the LDAP.

Step 7

Select the first query in the chain.

The Cisco Content Security appliance runs the queries in the order you configure them. If you add multiple queries to the chain query, you might want to order them so that general queries follow granular queries.

Step 8

Test the query by clicking the Test Query button and entering a user login and passphrase or an email address in the Test Parameters fields. The results appear in the Connection Status field.

Step 9

Check the Designate as the active query check box if you want the spam quarantine to use the domain query.

Note	The chain query becomes the active LDAP query for the specified query type. For example, if the chain query is used for end-user authentication, it becomes the active end-user authentication query for the spam quarantine.

Step 10

Submit and commit your changes.

Note	To do the same configuration on the command line interface, type the `advanced` subcommand of the `ldapconfig` command at the command line prompt.
