For Meraki local authentication with an LDAP server what are the Pre-requisites ? and is certificate must or is it optional if i am going with only LDAP & not LDAPs ?
All MR access points in the Network must be running MR 27.1+ firmware*
An admin account credential for the LDAP server with read-only permissions has to be input as part of dashboard configuration
If an Active Directory-based LDAP server is used, it must support an LDAP bind operation
The LDAP server must support STARTTLS
CA certificate used to sign the LDAP server's private key must be uploaded to the dashboard. This certificate is used by an MR to verify the authenticity of the LDAP server.
The LDAP server’s certificate must have a subjectAltName field that matches the Host address configured on the dashboard (either IP address or FQDN)
Wireless clients must trust the certificate presented by the MR which is signed by a well-known Certification Authority QuoVadis for the purposes of validation of the MR for certificate-based authentication.
