Identity LDAP server set up¶

# setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap on

The Identity configuration is split into two separate back ends; identity (back end for users and groups), and assignments (back end for domains, projects, roles, role assignments). To configure Identity, set options in the /etc/keystone/keystone.conf file. See Integrate Identity back end with LDAP for Identity back end configuration examples. Modify these examples as needed.

To define the destination LDAP server

1. Define the destination LDAP server in the /etc/keystone/keystone.conf file:

   [ldap]
   url = ldap://localhost
   user = dc=Manager,dc=example,dc=org
   password = samplepassword
   suffix = dc=example,dc=org
   

Additional LDAP integration settings

Set these options in the /etc/keystone/keystone.conf file for a single LDAP server, or /etc/keystone/domains/keystone.DOMAIN_NAME.conf files for multiple back ends. Example configurations appear below each setting summary:

Query option

[ldap]
query_scope = sub
page_size = 0
alias_dereferencing = default
chase_referrals =

Debug

Use debug_level to set the LDAP debugging level for LDAP calls. A value of zero means that debugging is not enabled.

[ldap]
debug_level = 0

Connection pooling

Use use_pool to enable LDAP connection pooling. Configure the connection pool size, maximum retry, reconnect trials, timeout (-1 indicates indefinite wait) and lifetime in seconds.

[ldap]
use_pool = true
pool_size = 10
pool_retry_max = 3
pool_retry_delay = 0.1
pool_connection_timeout = -1
pool_connection_lifetime = 600

Connection pooling for end user authentication

Use use_auth_pool to enable LDAP connection pooling for end user authentication. Configure the connection pool size and lifetime in seconds.

[ldap]
use_auth_pool = false
auth_pool_size = 100
auth_pool_connection_lifetime = 60

When you have finished the configuration, restart the OpenStack Identity service.
