| Day Three Agenda:
|
| • Module 1: LDAP
|
| This module focuses directly on common LDAP configurations and issues. A brief overview of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol is provided to give those new to LDAP some familiarity, but the bulk of the module assumes a basic understanding of LDAP terms and concepts. Since each LDAP installation is unique (even those that are thought to be "out of the box" installations), a number of case studies are used to highlight the various issues and differences that can be encountered when configuring AsyncOS for use with LDAP.
|
| • Module 2: Message Filters (Advanced Policy)
|
| This module focuses on advanced filter options with specific emphasis on creating, troubleshooting, simplification/streamlining and regular expressions. Helpful tips and tricks for both Message and Content filters are covered. Extensive hands-on exercises are designed to give the students practice working with the Command Line Interface (CLI), as well as practical experience troubleshooting and examining logs.
|
| • Module 3: Domain Key Identified Mail
|
| This module focuses on Domain Key Identified Mail (DKIM) and the issues of configuring DKIM on the IronPort Appliance. An introduction to DKIM is provided and how it fits into the security aspects of mail, both signing and verification. |
