Kevin Minder commented on KNOX-548:
-----------------------------------
[~lmccay] < I'm not sure if you are clear there are two commands. The first
one [~zacblanco] already added is auth-test. Most of your feedback really
applies to this command. This jira is about validating the Shiro configuration
for the use of main.ldapRealm.contextFactory.systemUsername and
main.ldapRealm.contextFactory.systemPassword independent of a user's
credentials. They are both really doing a bind but it has more to do with
where the credentials are coming from and what is being validated.
> LDAP Bind in Knox CLI

> Key: KNOX-548
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KNOX-548

>
> LDAP bind issues are a common user issue at initial setup. Could a feature be
> added to knoxcli.sh to allow a user to test Knox’s bind to the LDAP server
> specified in a given topology?
> For example,
> ./knoxcli.sh validate-ldap-bind <topology name>
> <topology name> is the topology file name in /etc/knox/conf/topologies to use
> for the test. This argument would be required and ensures the test is against
> a running configuration. Executing without this argument could return the
> list of available topology files.
> Executing “./knoxcli.sh validate-ldap-bind <topology name>” will use the LDAP
> settings from the specified topology file in /etc/knox/conf/topologies to
> test the configuration’s ability to successfully bind to the LDAP server.
> Returning success or failure.
