Barracuda Firewall

I have a client running ND 7 and using a Barracuda Firewall. The are experiencing errors being generated by Domino. I am coming in after the fact and have little (read no) experience with Barracuda. I can hit the LDAP port, but it doesn’t seem to let me search.

I would appreciate it if someone could send me the valid notes.ini settings relating to an implimentation of this type. Specifically the LDAP variables.

I’d also appreciate any advice one might be able to provide in troubleshooting their issue.

Thanks,

James,

There is no integration between Barracuda and Domino other than the SMTP setup. Specifically, what is happening?

Thanks Shawn,I believe the Barracuda is set up correctly, they can hit the LDAP port, but they are not authenticating. I’m wondering if there are specific notes.ini variables that need to either be set or unset.

When you say:

‘they can hit the LDAP port’

Do you mean the barracuda is validating the address before it attempts delivery?

If that is the case, when you click ‘Test LDAP’ what is the response you get?

I don’t believe anyone is authenticating. The barracuda performs an LDAP query against notes to validate the recipient. At that point if hte validation is positive then Barracuda relays the message to notes or it drops the memo. Either one should be logged in the Message Log.

Do you see that?

We contacted Barracuda at Lotusphere and mentioned to them that they should be monitoring our Notes/Domino forums for posts concerning their product. I’m not sure they actually took that to heart.

As for us, we’d love to help you out, but we have no Barracuda experience. The best advice that I can offer you is that you can turn on LDAPDEBUG=7 for the Domino server and the server console should display what Barracuda is trying to search for.

Good luck! =)

I posted an article with the full configuration necessary on both the Domino and Barracuda sides.A Secret Ingredient: SNTT - Integrating a Barracuda Spam Firewall with Domino LDAP Hopefully it will help you sort out your configuration. :slight_smile:
