LDAP Authentication

 Starting in 3.6, ProVision supports LDAP authentication. To an LDAP server for authentication, you must perform the following three procedures:

• Configure the LDAP Server
• Test the LDAP Server
• Configure ProVision for LDAP Authentication

LDAP Schema - Example

attributetype (1.3.6.1.4.1.5023215.2.3.21 NAME 'sixConnGroup'
        SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 )

objectclass ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.5023215.2.4.2 NAME 'sixConnectPermissionsV2'
        DESC '6Connect Permissions Object v2'
        SUP top AUXILIARY
        MUST ( sixConnGroup ) )

Configure the LDAP Server

SSH into your openLDAP server and create a new 'ldif' file.  Example:

...

The user will now be active in openLDAP and can be used to login to ProVision.

Test the LDAP Server

To query the LDAP server, run the following command on any server which has openLDAP enabled:

...

ldapsearch -h 50.240.195.129 -D "cn=JoeSmith,ou=people,dc=6connect,dc=com" -w testpass "cn=JoeSmith"
