LDAP

This feature integrates the OpenStack Keystone service with an external LDAP service. Effectively, the feature maps LDAP-based users to cloud users via an OpenStack domain.

Enabling LDAP

To enable the LDAP feature, run the following command:

sunbeam enable ldap

Disabling LDAP

To disable the LDAP feature, run the following command:

sunbeam disable ldap

Usage

Adding a domain

Adding a domain refers to integrating Keystone with one or more existing LDAP servers.

1. Create a YAML file with details of how Keystone should integrate with the LDAP server. At a minimum, this should include a URL, user, password, and suffix. See the Keystone LDAP integration guide for configuration guidance.

   For example:

   dom1.yaml:

    url: ldaps://ldap.example.com:636
    user: cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com
    password: mypassword
    suffix: dc=example,dc=com

2. If the connection requires TLS, place the CA certificate in a file:

   dom1.cert:

    -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
    ...
    -----END CERTIFICATE-----

3. Use the sunbeam ldap add-domain command to set up the domain, adding the --ca-cert-file option if TLS is in use:

    sunbeam ldap add-domain \
       --domain-config-file ./dom1.yaml \
       --ca-cert-file ./dom1.cert dom1

4. A new LDAP-backed domain will be created in Keystone. Verify this with the native openstack CLI:

   openstack user list --domain dom1

Updating a domain

To update an LDAP domain the process is similar to adding one:

sunbeam ldap update-domain --domain-config-file ./dom1.yaml --ca-cert-file ./dom1.cert  dom1

Listing domains

To list LDAP domains:

sunbeam ldap list-domains

Removing a domain

To remove an LDAP domain:

sunbeam ldap remove-domain <domain-name>
