Question & Answer
Question
How do you integrate bluepages LDAP with IBM SmartCloud orchestrator V2.3?
Answer
You can use either a non-SSL connection or an SSL connection.
Non-SSL Connection
Complete the following steps:
- Add the following lines of code to the /etc/keystone/keystone.conf file on the keystone server:
[ldap_pre_auth]
# Base Config
url = ldap://bluegroups.ibm.com:389
#User Schema
user_tree_dn = "ou=bluepages,o=ibm.com"
user_attribute_name = "mail"
[filter:ldapauth]
paste.filter_factory = keystone.middleware.ldapauth:LdapAuthAuthentication.factory
[auto_population]
default_project = admin
default_role = Member
#default_tenant_id =
##default_role_id =
[filter:autopop]
paste.filter_factory = keystone.middleware.autopop:AutoPopulation.factory
- Restart the keystone service using the following command:
# service openstack-keystone restart
- Use the following command to determine whether bluegroups.ibm.com can be pinged in your keystone server:
# ping bluegroups.ibm.com
If the output of the previous command is unknown host bluegroups.ibm.com, add the following line to the /etc/hosts file on your keystone server:
9.17.186.253 bluegroups.ibm.com
- Attempt to log into IBM SmartCloud Orchestrator with your IBM intranet ID and password.
SSL Connection
Based on the non-SSL configuration steps, complete the following steps to use SSL:
- Copy the bluepages.cer file to the /etc/openldap/certs directory.
- Add the following lines of code to the /etc/openldap/ldap.conf file:
TLS_CACERTDIR /etc/openldap/certs/bluepages.cer
#TLS_CACERTDIR /etc/openldap/certs
TLS_REQCERT ALLOW
- Change the URL in the "ldap_pre_auth" section of the /etc/keystone/keystone.conf file to the following value:
url = ldaps://bluegroups.ibm.com:636
- Save the changes to the /etc/keystone/keystone.conf file.
- Restart the keystone service.
