Dr.Web LookupD

The Dr.Web LookupD component is designed to refer to external sources (directory services, such as Active Directory) to retrieve data by using the LDAP protocol (RFC 4511). The received data is used in rules according to which network connections are checked (for example, to check the user’s authorization). This data is also used to block access to URLs if certain criteria are met.

In the component’s settings, you can specify parameters for connection to several data sources. Dr.Web LookupD connects to the required data source only upon receiving a data request from any of the Dr.Web for UNIX‘s components.

Sharing of data via the LDAP protocol can be performed either over an open channel or over a protected one, applying SSL/TLS. To use a secure connection, it is required to provide Dr.Web LookupD with an appropriate SSL certificate and key. If you need to generate SSL keys and certificates, you can use the openssl utility. An example of how to use the openssl utility to generate a certificate and a private key is given in the Appendix E of the Administrator Manual.
