Foreman AD LDAPS auth

Support
#1

Hello

I am following this section on creating AD LDAPS auth for foreman
https://theforeman.org/manuals/1.11/index.html#4.1WebInterface

This is secure LDAP and here is how I exported the cert from AD

  1. Go to Active Directory certificate authority MMC
  2. right click CA -> all tasks -> backup CA
  3. select "private key and CA certificate"
  4. no password specific
  5. Finish

I take this and put it in

/usr/local/share/ca-certificates/

Then I issue command

update-ca-certificates

It says it added a cert.

I go back on foreman and try to login with AD creds. no go.

Appreciate the help!
John

Can you provide some more details? I guess you're running Foreman on Debian /
Ubuntu?

Do you get the error message regarding untrusted / not able to verify
connection?

Perhaps some intermediate certs of your CA are missing. You can also extract the
certificates through the following way:

echo | openssl s_client -showcerts -connect $DC_FQDN:636

Try to combine the intermediate and root CA certs into one file.

Cheers

hi Mike

I fixed this by adding the cert into the file specified in
/etc/ldap/ldap.conf
Yes this is on Ubuntu 14

Thank you for your help
John
