When LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is configured for Spam Quarantine End-User Authentication in Cisco Email Security Appliance, the suboption that must be selected is "Designate as the active query."

Here's an explanation of what this means:

  • LDAP: LDAP is a protocol used for accessing and maintaining distributed directory information services over an IP network. It is commonly used for user authentication and authorization, as well as for storing and retrieving user and group information.

  • Spam Quarantine End-User Authentication: This refers to a feature in Cisco Email Security Appliance that allows end-users to access and manage their own spam quarantine messages. End-users can authenticate themselves using their LDAP credentials, which are verified against an LDAP server.

  • Active query: In the context of LDAP, an active query refers to the search query used to retrieve information from an LDAP directory. When LDAP is configured for Spam Quarantine End-User Authentication in Cisco Email Security Appliance, the "Designate as the active query" suboption must be selected in order to specify the search query that will be used to retrieve user information from the LDAP directory.

To summarize, when configuring LDAP for Spam Quarantine End-User Authentication in Cisco Email Security Appliance, the "Designate as the active query" suboption should be selected to specify the search query used to retrieve user information from the LDAP directory. This will ensure that end-users can authenticate themselves and manage their own spam quarantine messages.
