Allow outgoing LDAPS client request from firewall host 202.54.1.20:
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -s 202.54.1.20 --sport 1024:65535 -d 0/0 --dport 636 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 0/0 --sport 636 -d 202.54.1.20 --dport 1024:65535 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT

Can I restrict LDAPS outgoing clinet request to subnet 192.168.0.0/24? If so please leeme know the rule
Thanks
The rule is nearly identical. iptables should take the network notation you noted:
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -s 202.54.1.20 –sport 1024:65535 -d 192.168.0.0/24 –dport 636 -m state –state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
You did say an outgoing request right? If you meant the opposite, switch the “-d” argument with the “-s” argument. As a side note, both “-d” and “-s” can be noted in long form with “–destination” or “–source”, respectively, making your rule more readable.
Also, the “-A” parameter “appends” a rule to an existing chain. Be careful you are not appending one rule that does something different from the rule you really want. You could end up with unintended “holes” in your firewall.
% sudo /sbin/iptables -L
Will tell you what is currently loaded in your iptables chain.
Thanks for explaining iptables rules. I’m new to Linux and Iptables.
I would like to add an easier rule with no LDAP server IP defined
/sbin/iptables -A OUTPUT -p udp –sport 1024:65535 –dport 389 -m state –state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp –sport 1024:65535 –dport 389 -m state –state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -A OUTPUT -p udp –sport 1024:65535 –dport 636 -m state –state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp –sport 1024:65535 –dport 636 -m state –state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
With the LDAP server IP where 10.101.1.100 is my LDAP server
/sbin/iptables -A OUTPUT -p udp -d 10.101.1.100 –sport 1024:65535 –dport 389 -m state –state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -d 10.101.1.100 –sport 1024:65535 –dport 389 -m state –state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -A OUTPUT -p udp -d 10.101.1.100 –sport 1024:65535 –dport 636 -m state –state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -d 10.101.1.100 –sport 1024:65535 –dport 636 -m state –state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
