Setting up LDAP authentication

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) provides an extra security to user management. LDAP server implementations are typically tailored to the needs of your organization. You can either use your own LDAP server and the configured users or use the built-in OpenLDAP by specifying the LDAP credentials (username and password) to log in to Telco Network Cloud Manager - Performance.

About this task

After the installation of Telco Network Cloud Manager - Performance, the common Config Map is created with default LDAP settings. You can modify the settings according to your requirements.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the OpenShift® Container Platform web console of your cluster.

  2. Select tncp from Namespace pane.

  3. Select tncp from Projects pane.

  4. Expand Workloads > Config Maps > common in the Config and Storage pane in the navigation pane.
  5. Expand Workloads > Config Maps > common.
  6. Observe the following properties in common Config Map. 
    
security.provider=ldap
security.ldap.hostname=security
  7. Optional: Edit the common Config Map directly from OpenShift Container Platform web console.
  8. If you change the common Config Map, rename the tncp-operator in the annotations section as follows: 
    annotations:
    manager: tncp-operator-<updated>
    It is to make sure that on the Operator does not revert your changes to default.
