Problem

Unable to configure Opscenter to Authenticate using LDAP .

Error Message

 LDAP Domain is not listed in Opscenter Login Console drop down list . Hence user cannot be validated for LDAP authentication. 

Cause

 User have to manually add the LDAP domain for user to get authenticated in LDAP .

Solution

Use below command to add LDAP/AD domain in VxAT(in this example AT is residing on local OpsCenter).

 

 

# vssat addldapdomain --domainname <any name ex ADBOB> --server_url <ldap://<system FQDN having LDAP setup> --user_base_dn <base DN like DC=Denali,DC=com> --group_base_dn < base DN like DC=Denali,DC=com > --schema_type msad --admin_user <admin use info like CN=Administrator,CN=Users,DC=Denali,DC=com> --admin_user_password <passwd> --auth_type BOB
 
To see list of ldap domains:
            # vssat listldapdomains
 
-          Add broker domain mapping in local registry
            # vssat addbrokerdomain --broker <local AT broker FQDN> --domain ldap:ADBOB
 
List all broker domains:
            # vssat showallbrokerdomains
 
-          Try to authenticate an LDAP user to ensure the set-up is working
      # vssat authenticate --prplname <ldap user>  --password <ldap user passwd> --domain ldap:ADBOB --broker <AT broker name>
 
-          Add ldap users after login to OpsCenter ‘Setting -> Users’ 
 
-          Now on login page user should see the ldap domain in drop down list
 
 

Applies To
