LDAP account details

To establish a connection to LDAP, you must add an account that defines the account details to connect with. You can define these details by creating a configuration object in the App Connect Dashboard, the Red Hat® OpenShift® web console or CLI, or the Kubernetes CLI.

Account parameters
Example

Account parameters

You can define one or more LDAP accounts.

For each account that you require, you can specify a new set of account details in any of the following ways:

If you are using the App Connect Dashboard, either complete the Account details fields in the Create configuration panel, or specify the account parameters in an accounts.yaml file before importing it into the Create configuration panel. For more information, see Accounts type.
If you are using the Red Hat OpenShift web console or CLI, or the Kubernetes CLI, specify the account parameters in an accounts.yaml file, and then use this configuration file to create a configuration object. For more information, see Creating the file for a configuration object of type Accounts.

The set of required and optional Account fields or parameters are listed in the following table.

If necessary, work with your LDAP server administrator to obtain the values for these parameters.

Field	Parameter	Values	Condition	Description
Account name	name	User defined	Required	The name of an LDAP account that is used in the exported flow.
Principal Distinguished Name	adminDn	User defined	Required	The distinguished name of the LDAP user; for example, `CN=user,OU=organization,DC=mydomain,DC=com`.
Password	password	User defined	Required	The password that is associated with the distinguished name of the user.
LDAP URL	endpointUrl	User defined	Required	A valid LDAP URL in the format ldap://`host_or_IPaddress`:`port`.

Example

Remember: An accounts.yaml file that defines one or more accounts must always begin with the following line:
accounts:

  ldap:
    - name: Account 1
      credentials:
        adminDn: 'CN=user,OU=organization,DC=mydomain,DC=com'
        password: abcde123fghij456klmn
      endpoint:
        endpointUrl: 'ldap://123.4.5.6:389'
