Question
This article described how to enable LDAP user authentication in Platform HPC.
Answer
1> Create an LDAP user on the LDAP server that Platform HPC can use to access the LDAP server to retrieve users and groups. The LDAP user must have read permission to the LDAP server.
2>Disable anonymous access on the LDAP server:
- Open the /etc/openldap/slapd.d/cn\=config.ldif file
- Look for olcDisallows: bind_anon.
- If it is not there, add the line to the file.
3> Set the maximum number of search results on the LDAP server to unlimited. For example:
- Open the /etc/openldap/slapd.d/cn\=config/olcDatabase\=\{2\}bdb.ldif file.
- Add the line:
4>Restart the LDAP service to apply the LDAP server configuration changes:
#service slapd restart
