Configure LDAP as local service docker image from osixia/openldap, unable to connect with CP4D.

  • 1.  Configure LDAP as local service docker image from osixia/openldap, unable to connect with CP4D.

    Posted Wed July 08, 2020 09:16 AM

    Hi Community,

    So basically what i am trying to do is run a docker container in master node of the cluster (OpenLdap image) and then connect CP4D to him using Configure LDAP from Administer.
    When i am configure the LDAP on CP4D using a set of parameters for connection which i am using for connection it is failing on testing the connection.

    "Failed to validate LDAP. Check your LDAP configuration, username, and password."

    For that a test was made with Apache Directory Studio, to the 
    running image and using the port forwarding to test connection to the LDAP that is working successful :)

    !! Another try was with an external VM containing OpenLdap and the situation was the same as above.

    Where do i have a mistake ?
    What do i miss ?

    Hi,

    Debugging the LDAP issues is quite a challenge in CP4D.

    I came up with the following procedure (see attached file), if you are not comfortable with doing it, please open a support ticket.

    Thanks
