Feature #22030
openTest LDAP Authentication with Username/Password
Description
Description of problem:
On the next version of Satellite Server (6.2) will be available in the LDAP Authentication feature one button in the new connection, named (Test Connection), this button check the connectivity between Satellite Server and AD server, but I believe only via 389 port. My suggest is add a button named "verify" in the Account tab, just to check if the username and password are correct and connecting in the AD server. We have a similar button in another product, like Cloudforms for example.
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure the LDAP Authentication
2. Add a new LDAP Source
3. Is not possible test the authentication.
Actual results:
We don't know if the username and password are valid.
Expected results:
Test the authentication with the actual username and password.
Additional info:
Actually, what I do and recommend to test the connection, is the command below
- yum install openldap-clients
- ldapsearch -x -b "CN=Users,DC=adtest,DC=net" -h <ip address> -D "ADTEST\sataccount" -w <password>
Or
#ldapsearch -x -b "CN=Users,DC=adtest,DC=net" -h <ip address> -D "sataccount@adtest.net" -w <password>
Or
#ldapsearch -x -b "CN=Users,DC=adtest,DC=net" -h <ip address> -D "sataccount@adtest" -w <password>
In the sample above, we need define a BaseDN, Server, Service Account and Password.
