----------------------------------------
Summary: LDAP Server for User Authentication doc doesn't specify
how authenticate a user
Key: CLOUDSTACK-6188
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-6188
Project: CloudStack
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
Components: Doc
Affects Versions: 4.2.0, 4.2.1
Reporter: Kiran Koneti
Priority: Critical
Fix For: 4.2.1, 4.2.0
In the documentation for the Ldap user authentication located at
http://cloudstack.apache.org/docs/en-US/Apache_CloudStack/4.2.0/html/Admin_Guide/LDAPserver-for-user-authentication.html
,it is specified on how to add the Ldap serevr to the CS but steps are not
provided on how to authenticate the Ldap users from the CS.Please add the below
steps in the document to make that clear.
In the version 4.2 and 4.2.1 there is no way to directly import the Ldap users
into the CS,hence we nee to manually create the Ldap users in the CS with the
desired role which we want to give for that particular ldap user in the CS
giving some random password. The Ldap user can then login to the CS using this
password or else can login to the CS using the LDap password.
When the user tries to login CS initially validates the password with the local
db and if the password doesn't match it tries to validate with the ldap
password for the same user and provides the authentication for the user.
