LDAP Authentication Issues
I hope someone can help me with these issues:
ISSUE 1
I am attempting to get WebLogic to authenticate to NDS via LDAP. Currently this is
working but only by using the "bind" option for User Authentication when setting
up the LDAP realm. The issue that I am having is that I need NDS to perform the authentication
for me and to return just a "yes" or "no" answer. This would imply that the user
authentication method to use is "external". However, everytime we setup "external"
on the LDAP Realm, WebLogic DOES NOT startup - it complains of an invalid user authentication
mechanism.
ISSUE 2
The second issue involves setting up the WebLogic LDAPRealm to cater for more than
one group.
The NDS server consists of a tree with about 5 organisational units. Each of the
organisational unit (OU) is a logical division of the business. Users that will use
the product we are implementing will fall into two of the five OUs. There seems to
be no way in WebLogic 6.0 to specifiy more that one group in the LDAP realm settings.
This implies that the WebLogic groups need to lie at root level, which make absolutely
no sense structurally. Also given that there are 2000 users on the system and they
all have different NDS contexts, searching for users when authenticating is going
to affect the performance and response time of WebLogic.
How can I setup various contexts in WLS' LDAPRealm?

Weblogic Server 10.3.0 and LDAP authentication Issue
Hi - I have configured my WebLogic Server 10.3.0 for LDAP authentication (OID = 10.1.4.3.0) and so far the authentication works fine but I am having issue in terms of authorization.
I am not able to access the default web logic administrator console app using any of the LDAP user, getting Forbiden message.
It appears to me that the Weblogic Server is not pulling out the proper groups from the LDAP where user belongs too.
Can anyone please point me towards the right direction to get this resolved.
Thanks,
STEPS
Here are my steps I have followed:
- Created a group called Administrators in OID.
- Created a test user call uid=myadmin in the OID and assigned the above group to this user.
- Added a new Authentication Provider to the Weblogic and configured it what is required to communicate with OID (the config.xml file snipet is below)
<sec:authentication-provider xsi:type="wls:ldap-authenticatorType">
<sec:name>OIDAuthentication</sec:name>
<sec:control-flag>SUFFICIENT</sec:control-flag>
<wls:propagate-cause-for-login-exception>false</wls:propagate-cause-for-login-exception>
<wls:host>pmpdeva-idm.ncr.pwgsc.gc.ca</wls:host>
<wls:port>1389</wls:port>
<wls:principal>cn=orcladmin</wls:principal>
<wls:user-base-dn>ou=AppAdmins, o=gc, c=ca</wls:user-base-dn>
<wls:credential-encrypted>removed from here</wls:credential-encrypted>
<wls:group-base-dn>ou=IDM, ou=ServiceAccounts, o=gc, c=ca</wls:group-base-dn>
</sec:authentication-provider>
- Marked the default authentication provider as sufficient as well.
- Re-ordered the authentication provide such that the OIDauthentication is first in the list and default one is the last.
- Looking at the log file I see there are no groups returned for this user and that is the problem in my opinion.

- I see the XACML RoleMapper getRoles() only returning the Anonymous role as oppose to Admin (because the OID user is a part of Administrators group in OID then it should be returning Admin as fars I can tell. Here is the log entry that shows that:
<XACML RoleMapper getRoles(): returning roles Anonymous>
- I did a ldap search and I found no issues in getting the results back:
C:\>ldapsearch -h localhost -p 1389 -b"ou=IDM, ou=ServiceAccounts, o=gc, c=ca" -D cn=orcladmin -w "removed from here" (uniquemember=uid=myadmin,ou=AppAdmins,o=gc,c=ca)(objectclass=groupOfUniqueNames)

objectclass=orclGroup
objectclass=top

The OID version that we are using is not returning the groups the way Weblogic is building the ldapsearch command. We captured the ldap traffic to go deeper and noticed the filters and attributes list that wls was asking. For example, the filter was like:
"(&(uniquemember=uid=myadmin,ou=AppAdmins,o=gc,c=ca)(objectclass=groupofuniquenames))" cn
its was the "cn" attribute that was causing the result set to be empty.
from a command line we tried
"(&(uniquemember=uid=myadmin,ou=AppAdmins,o=gc,c=ca)(objectclass=groupofuniquenames))" uniquemember
and got the results back.
Then we start looking into OID configuration and one of my coworker pointed me towards the orclinmemfiltprocess attributes in cn=dsaconfig entry and told me that they had lot of issues in the past in relation to this attribute.
So as a test we removed the groupofuniquenames objectclass from the orclinmemfiltprocess attribute list and bingo it worked!
Since we needed the groupofuniquenames in this list for performance/other reasons and decided to use a different objectclass for our groups instead i.e. orclGroup.
Thanks everyone for showing interest on the problem and providing suggestions. -
LDAP authentication issue for Admin Console 7.0U5
Here is what I'm trying to do:
In Unix LDAP Server, there are 2 identities already been created
dn: cn=group1, ou=group,ou=na,dc=XYZ,dc=com (gidNumber: 937)
dn: uid=bai, ou=People,ou=na,dc=XYZ,dc=com (gidNumber: 937)
dn: cn=group1,ou=group,ou=na,dc=XYZ,dc=com+
memberUid: user1+
memberUid: bai+
memberUid: user2+
gidNumber: 937+
objectClass: top+
objectClass: posixgroup+
objectClass: groupofuniquenames+
dn: uid=bai,ou=People,ou=na,dc=XYZ,dc=com*
loginShell: /bin/ksh*
homeDirectory: /export/home/bai*
gidNumber: 937*
cn: Lastname, Firstname*
sn:*
uid: bai*
uidNumber: 10091*
objectClass: top*
objectClass: inetOrgPerson*
objectClass: posixAccount*
objectClass: shadowaccount*
objectClass: organizationalPerson*
objectClass: person*
++shadowFlag: 0+
User "bai" is a member of Group "group1" and will also be used as bind-dn (connection tested successfully)
There are also other members (user1, user2) in the Group "group1".
Goal: all individual users in "group1" will have access to Admin Console. (allow_group=group1)
settings as follows
--ldap-url=ldap://ldapsever.XYZ.com:389/dc=XYZ,dc=com*+
--bind-dn=uid=bai,ou=People,ou=na,dc=XYZ,dc=com*+
--bind-password=xxxx*+
--group-search-filter=gidNumber*+
--group-search-attr=cn*+
--allow-group=group1*+
--search-filter=uid*+
It appears that I got authenticated by LDAP, please see messages from the ldap log

However, I'm still getting errors from Admin Console
WarningAccess Denied+
Access to the Administrative UI has been denied.+
Your user permissions do not allow you to view or edit data in this area. If you need access, contact the system administrator.+
Not sure where the problem is with? LDAP or ACL?
Any help will be highly appreciated, Thanks a lot!

MS Active Directory LDAP Authentication/Locking Issue.
Dear All,
We are a software company; we have implemented feature of LDAP Authentication in our product using Java API and its working fine from our network environment.
We have used following things with LDAP feature.
1. User Authentication.
2. Locking account after exceed the maximum attempts that has configured in window server.
Main our issue is: The LDAP feature is not working properly from our client side. They are able to authenticate their LDAP user but do not able to lock user account however they have exceeded the maximum attempts from login dialog of our products but it still working in our side.
If anybody has any experienced about it then please reply with positvie solution or any other information like require do the specific configuration for different version of Windows and Active Directory Server etc.
Can any body know what are the possibilities for identifying and resolving this issue?
Please help us if anybody has any experienced about it.
Please do the needful.
Thanks,
Mehul.Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
We have used java package of javax.naming.* and javax.naming.directory.* for LDAP Authentication.
Following code for checking whether ADS User is valid or not.
* Function checks whether ADSUser is valid user or not
* @returns int value indicating result.
public int isValidADSUser() {
Hashtable env = new Hashtable(5);
Vector adsInfoVec = getADSInfo();
env.put("java.naming.referral", "ignore");
// env.put("java.naming.security.authentication", "simple");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION,"simple");
String provider = "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory";
env.put("java.naming.factory.initial", provider);
//For handling Uncontinued reference found message of partial result exception
env.put(Context.REFERRAL, "follow");
env.put("java.naming.ldap.derefAliases", "always");
env.put("java.naming.ldap.deleteRDN", "false");
env.put("java.naming.ldap.attributes.binary", "");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,
"ldap://" + (String) adsInfoVec.elementAt(0) + ":" +
(String) adsInfoVec.elementAt(1));
// env.put("java.naming.security.principal",
// userNameStr + "@" + (String) adsInfoVec.elementAt(0));
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL,
userNameStr + "@" + (String) adsInfoVec.elementAt(0));
if (userPassStr == null) {
userPassStr = "";
// env.put("java.naming.security.credentials", userPassStr);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, userPasswordStr);
try {
DirContext ctx = new InitialDirContext(env);
ctx.lookup("");
//System.out.println(ctx.lookup(""));
ctx.close();
catch (javax.naming.AuthenticationException ex) {
//System.out.println();
ex.printStackTrace();
return AUTHENTICATION_ERROR;
catch (javax.naming.PartialResultException pex) {
pex.printStackTrace();
return COMMUNICATION_ERROR;
catch (javax.naming.CommunicationException pex) {
pex.printStackTrace();
return COMMUNICATION_ERROR;
catch (NamingException e) {
System.out.println("Failed to connect to ");
e.printStackTrace();
return COMMUNICATION_ERROR;
return SUCCESS;
Result of this code from our company: We are able to Authenticate LDAP user and also Lock User Account after exceed the Max Failure Attempt that configured from Windows Server.
Result of this code from our client side: They are able to Authenticate LDAP user but they can't User Accout Lock however exceed the Max Failure Attemp that configured from their Windows Server.
Can u please help us if any experience about it and suggest if any other configuration require from Windows Server / Active Directory Server OR also if some other implementation require for resolving this issue.
Your optimistic reply is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Mehul Garnara.

SharePoint 2010 with LDAP authentication, using NOVELL eDirectory
One of my customers needs a SharePoint application that allows people to authenticate with either an Active Directory account (internal staff) or a Novell eDirectory account (external customers).
Using the following article as a base guide (http://blogs.technet.com/b/speschka/archive/2009/11/05/configuring-forms-based-authentication-in-sharepoint-2010.aspx)
I configured a claims-based test application that had Windows authentication enabled and Forms based authentication (FBA) enabled (this is on a Windows 2008 server and not a domain controller)
In the Membership provider name text box I entered "LdapMember"
In the Role provider name text box I entered "LdapRole"
In the web.config for the SharePoint Central Admin, I modified/added the following details right before </system.web>

With all of this configured, I can go to the new test site, I do see the form where I can choose either Windows authentication or Forms authentication. I can successfully login with Windows authentication, but forms authentication gives me me an error.
The server could not sign you in. Make sure your user name and password are correct, and then try again.
I can successfully login to a LDAP management tool, using the same credentials I entered on the form, so I know the username and password being submitted are correct. I get the following items in the event viewer
8306 - SharePoint Foundation - The security token username and password could not be validated.
in the SharePoint trace logs - Password check on 'testuser' generated exception: 'System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1[Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens.FailedAuthenticationException]: The security token username and password could not be validated. and
then this:
Request for security token failed with exception: System.ServiceModel.FaultException: The security token username and password could not be validated.

I monitored the LDAP server and did a packet-trace on the communication happening between the SharePoint server and the LDAP server and it is a bit odd. It goes like this:
The SharePoint server successfully connects to the LDAP server, binding the ldapserviceid+password
The LDAP server tells the SharePoint server it is ready to communicate
the SharePoint server sends an LDAP query to the LDAP server, asking if the name entered in the form authentication page can be found.
The LDAP server does the query, successfully finds the entered name and sends a success message back to SharePoint
The LDAP server sends notification that it is done and is closing the connection that was bound to theldapserviceid+password
The SharePoint server acknowledges the connection is closing
... and then nothing happens, except the error on SharePoint
What I understand is that the SharePoint server, once it gets confirmation that the submitted username exists in LDAP, should attempt to make a new LDAP connection, bound to the username and password submitted in the form (rather than the LDAP service account
specified in the web.config). That part does not seem to be happening.
I am at a standstill on this and any help would be greatly appreciated.OK, our problem was resolved by removing any information about the ASP.NET role manager. Initially, we had information about a role manager defined in three different web.config files, as well as in the SharePoint Central Administration site, where there
is the checkbox to Enable Forms Based Authentication (you see this when you first create the new SharePoint app, or afterwards by modifying the Authentication Provider for the app.) In either case, you will see two text boxes, underneath the checkbox item
for enabling Forms Based Authentication:
"ASP.NET Membership provider name"
"ASP.NET Role manager name"
We entered a name for Membership provider, and left Role manager blank.
In the web.config for the SharePoint Central Administration site, the SecurityTokenServiceApplication app, and the web app we created with FBA enabled, we entered the following:
<membership>
<providers>
<add name="LdapMember"
type="Microsoft.Office.Server.Security.LdapMembershipProvider, Microsoft.Office.Server, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c"
server="ldap.server.address"
port="389"
useSSL="false"
connectionUsername="cn=ldapserviceid,ou=sharepoint,ou=test,ou=location,o=validobject"
connectionPassword="validpassword"
useDNAttribute="false"
userDNAttribute="dn"
userNameAttribute="cn"
userContainer="OU=people,O=validobject"
userObjectClass="person"
userFilter="(ObjectClass=person)"
scope="Subtree"
otherRequiredUserAttributes="sn,givenname,cn" />
</providers>
</membership>
<roleManager>
<providers>
</providers>
</roleManager>
useDNAttribute="false" turned out to be important as well.
So, for us to get LDAP authentication working between SharePoint 2010 and Novel eDirectory, we had to:
leave anything related to the role provider blank
configure the web.config in three different applications, with the proper connection information to reach our Novel eDir
Ensure that useDNAttribute="false" was used in all three on the modified web.config files.
Since our eDir is flat and used pretty much exclusively for external users, we had never done any sort of advanced role management configuration in eDir. So, by having role manager details in the web.config files, SharePoint was waiting for information from
a non-existent role manager. -
LDAP Authentication - Multiple Domains
I want to be able to use the built in LDAP Authentication scheme to allow authentication against multiple AD Domains... each with it's own separate Host IP/Server, and LDAP DN String. The User ID is formated the same among all Domains, so that is not a concern. I am currently authenticating against one Domain and it scans the tree successfully.
Host: xx.xx.xx.xx
DN String: %LDAP_USER%@amer.globalco.net
(amer.globalco.net is the domain)
How can this be accomplished? Is it possible all you guru's out there?
I saw one forum thread discussing how to add a drop down list to the login page, then use the value of the page item in the DN String to specify Domain... That makes sense - HOWEVER - I also have to use a different Host Server / IP address for each domain as well.... Now that is 2 fields that need updating based on one select list.
I can build the select list using "IP/Domain" - but how do I separate the two data bits in the ITEM Value into their own field values?
Can I use the ldap_dnprep function to do text editing to create two field values from one ITEM value that I can use in the standard LDAP authentication form fields?
As you can tell - I am not a SQL/PLSQL person... and I want to avoid creating my own LDAP scheme.
Please include example/suggested SQL -
Thanks in advance...

Apex v3.2.1
Oracle 10G ExpressBased on prior post I had similar question and the result was to write custom auth scheme to read the values from the login page, perform auth against appropriate ldap, then return a valid session to proceed with login in apex app. In our case, the issue was having users is different branch nodes on the same ldap server but not being able to search from a common higher-level branch for some reason...
Another option you could try, not recommended as it would mean multiple pages to maintain, would be a separate login page per ldap/domain, maybe would even have to multiple apps with just a login page and then redirect to the main app... been a really long time since i've tried anything like it, just giving some options to try. -
ASA 8.2.5 LDAP authentication by memberof doesn't always work
I've configured LDAP authentication to allow access if members are a member of the "VPN_Users" Group. This configuration is working, but only for some users. For other users it isn't. The output of the 'debug ldap 255' shows an output of memberOf for the users that it's working for, but shows nothing for users it's not working for. I've not been able to figure out any connection or differences that are the same between those users that work and those that don't. Any idea on what might be causing this problem? Both working and non-working users will authenticate, its just some of them don't pull the memberof data in the ldap query.

[1585] Session EndAs far as your configuration is concerned it looks perfectly fine. As you mentioned that the difference between the working and non working debugs is that in the non working debugs we do not see memberof attribute being retrieved.
the main reason could be that the username "[email protected]" with which you are performing the LDAP bind does not have sufficient privileges to retreive all the attributes from all the users in the AD. This looks like permission issue at the AD user level.
One thing you can try on the AD is to "Delegate Control" to this user ([email protected]) to "Read all properties" for all users and not just a subset of users. Please get in touch with AD Admin before making such a change on the AD.
Here is an external link just to give an idea about delegation of control to "Read all properties"

Open LDAP Authenticator Configuration on WLSSP5

All these users appear in the Users tab after configuration on the console only if LDAP Server is up. While I select group tab, I get errors indicating BAD SEARCH Filter.
Inspite of me not having any groups in the ldap as indicated in ldif contents.
While I try to login t the application with this LDAP configuration, I do not get any errors. LDAP authentication is not happening with just the LDAP authenticator in place. Even if I stop the LDAP server, I do nto get any exceptions while trying ot login. The config params for the Open LADP are as given below

CAN ANYONE HELP ME IDENTIFY WHAT IS THE ISSUE. Why is the authentication not happening?Hi Amol,
I've seen this happen at least two times in 11.1.1.1 installs. You can safely restart and then add the service back again. Suggest you reboot after you re-add the service back or cycle all the Hyperion services.
I was not aware you could install the service with that command.
I used the below command instead:
sc create OpenLDAP-slapd start= auto binPath= "D:\Hyperion\...\slapd.exe service" DisplayName= "Hyperion Shared Services OpenLAP"

LDAP Authentication Failed :user is not a member in any of the mapped group
Hi,
I tried to set up the LDAP Authentication but I failed.

JoffreyPlease do this after you verify all permission settings for all the groups the account is associated with. Also, make sure you check the NTFS folder permissions before doing this as well.
Since the same result happens on multiple computers, it is not the profile.
I am recommending you delete the AD account (or rename to backup the account).
It will not effect the users Exchange account, but you will need to link it back to the new AD user account.
You can also delete her profile just to remove it, for the "just in case" scenario.

FileMaker Pro Server 8 LDAP Refesh Issue
Hi -
I know this is the authentication section for Mac OS X Server. I am dealing with a parallel issue from FileMaker Pro Server 8 in regards to LDAP authentication so maybe I can find a fix here.
I have a PowerMac G5 with Mac OS 10.4.8 and FileMaker Server 8 loaded. I have bound the G5 to Active Directory. I have created AD goups, assigned those groups to databases and tested authentication. It all works. FMP Server 8 gets its authentication from the hosting computer. So my issue is that when I add/remove users from AD groups, the G5 does not immediately see the recent changes, thus FMP Server faults at authentication. I have to restart the G5 after AD group editing so the databases will get proper permissions.
My question:
Is there a way to force the G5 to get new LDAP permissions without restarting? I've encounterd this before with Mac OS X Server.
Thanks.
XServe Mac OS X (10.4.8)Turned out to be corrupted quicktime codecs. Pulled them out of the main library and no more crashing.

Essbase 6.5 External Authentication Issue!! Urgent Please!!
Hi all,
I am great trouble over an external authentication issue in Essbase 6.5. I request you all to please give me your feedback on the same as soon as possible.
I am in a situation where I need to get my Essbase 6.5 external Authentication converted from LDAP to Active Directory services.
I suppose there has been necessary changes done to the .cfg file for the same. However, I think I am getting an error
"User [vikc]'c external authentication protocol [MSEX]'s password check module is not loaded".
Please let me know if you have come across such an issue earlier and can anybody to able to help me with the same.
Its kinda Urgent. so any replies for the same will be appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
VikramVikram,
Yes you will have to reconfigure the CSS.xml and cfg file for external auth.
Here is the Sample CSS
<spi>

ctx.close();
} catch (AuthenticationException e) {
System.out.println("Authentication Exception");
return null;
} catch (NamingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
return dn;
I also done a validate. jsp as follows.
<%@page import="register.AuthBean"%>
<jsp:useBean id ="AuthBean" class="register.AuthBean" scope="session"/>
<%
//boolean valid = false;
String username = request.getParameter("user");
//System.out.println("The username" + username);
String password = request.getParameter("password");
//System.out.println("The username" +password);
%>
<jsp:setProperty name="AuthBean" property="userName" param="user" />
<jsp:setProperty name="AuthBean" property="password" param= "password" />
<%
//boolean validate = false;
String nn = AuthBean.getUserName();
System.out.println(nn);
String dn = AuthBean.getDN(username);
System.out.println(dn);
boolean validate = AuthBean.ldapAuthenticate(username, password);
if(validate) {
response.sendRedirect("../admin/Adminindex.jsp");
} else {
response.sendRedirect("Login.html");
%>
At current I keep getting 'false' for validate. But there are no errors. I m using tomcat and apache, do I need to configure any of these to LDAP. If so can you show me some examples.
Many thanks.Hi Irene,
I am posting my LDAP Authentication code for you to look at. If you have any more questions, please respond to this posting. I have just three days ago implemented this for my client. It works on Web Sphere against Microsoft Active Directory.

AD LDAP authentication or authorization
Hi,
It really drives me crazy because I can't seem to find the right solution for my issue.
I'm trying to use the LDAP authentication for my apex applications.
So far, straight forward LDAP authentication works just fine, but EVERYBODY who has a user account can log into any application.
I'm using the %LDAP_USER% string to validate the users and that's just fine.
But I want to restrict somehow users from logging into my applications.
Either way by ldap groups or an users table in every application.
Can someone please help me with this, or give me directions/examples of login functions/schemes?
Thanks so much!
Regards, BasWhat you have done so far is called Authentication. It's the question of "who am I?"
What you want to add is called Authorization, which is the "what can I do?"
So, you need to create an Authorization Scheme to secure components of your application. An authorization scheme can secure almost any component of an APEX app including:
- The application
- Pages
- Tabs
- Regions
- List items
- Items
- Columns in reports
- More that I'm not thinking of
Look at the doc on authorization schemes. You have 2 primary options that I can think of:
1) Use LDAP groups by using the APEX_LDAP package to lookup information about a user. I'm not sure if the member_of function works against AD or just OID, you might need to use the get_attribute function instead. In short, you query AD, then return true or false based on the attributes of the user. Once they are logged in you can reference the username with the :APP_USER APEX variable
2) A table of usernames (not passwords). You authorization scheme could just be an "Exists query" such as:
select 1 from valid_users where username = :APP_USEROnce you decide on an authorization scheme and create it, you then edit the security attributes of your app / page / region / etc and apply it

LDAP authentication not minding user set
I have a publishing rule for an internal website setup with LDAP authentication setup for two different domains, the domain the TMG 2010 is joined to (domain1) and another external domain (domain2). I want users from either domain to be able to authenticate
and I thought it was working perfectly, but found that anyone from domain2 can authenticate successfully (anyone can authenticate from domain1, but that's okay).
I have a LDAP user set with the AD group from domain2 that I want to allow access, but the TMG doesn't seem to adhere to this and lets any authenticated user from that domain in. I have added both user sets for domain1 and domain2 to the "This
rule applies to requests from the following user set:" under the Users tab in the publishing rule.
Any clues?Hi,
Based on my experience,
Server Authentication Certificates
should exist on DCs that you want TMG to use for authentication and
TMG must trust issuer of the Server Authentication Certificate. You can check that in
Trusted Root Certification Authorities on TMG.
In addition, when you add LDAP server Set for LDAP user authentication, you need to add the DCs and type the AD domain name. Please note that the domain name
is the domain in which the user accounts are defined, and not the domain to which Forefront TMG is joined.

Radius or LDAP (not Oracle LDAP) authentication for GridControl
I'm running GC 10.2.0.3.0 on Oracle Linux, and I'd like to be able to open up GridControl to other users without setting up accounts/passwords for them. Accounts I can handle, passwords, I don't want to handle.
I see that if I create a new GC user via enterprise manager, a new database accout is also created in the EMREP database. I've configured our EMREP database to use radius authentication and it works when I connect via sqlplus to the EMREP database. The user is set to authenticate "externally" and os_authent_prefix is set to ''.
However, after I set up external authentication for a given user, they are no longer able to login to enterprise manager using their radius authenticated password. So something about EM is not capable of radius authentication with the local EMREP database?
Questions for all:
Is it possible to authenticate users of enterprise manager GridControl against an external password store? I have at my disposal: radius (works great for several of our databases), ActiveDirectory (without oracle schema extensions), LDAP (active directory), proxying the EM server with another Apache server.
I do not have a license for OID and the "free use" license for OID does not allow for user management. We cannot we purchase OID for this purpose.
Our GC environment is Linux so Windows OS authentication against AD isn't going to work and we need to support Firefox/IE/Other browsers on various OS's.
I've seen hints that "external authentication" is possible with "generic" sources, but nothing concrete. Anyone doing this?<QUOTE>All I want now is the capability to perform my own method of LDAP BIND to AD to be used as a security plugin to the database authentication piece</QUOTE>
Amen.
Right now, I've got an SR open on the radius authentication issue in GC. It took me a two weeks to convince the Oracle tech that I wasn't talking about getting Oracle to use OS authentication where OS users were authenticated by radius.
I've put about 40 actual work hours in on this issue, going so far as to deconstruct the EM install .jar files and trying to replace the JDBC drivers.
At this point I believe that it would be relatively easy for Oracle to add Radius authentication support to Grid control in their next big release (11g).
Doing so would involve replacing the 10g JDBC thin drivers with 11g JDBC thin drivers. The 10g thin jdbc drivers support advanced security encryption and checksums, but not the radius authentication. The 11g thin drivers DO implement the radius option as well as a full complement of encryption checksum types not supported in 10g. From there it should be a simple matter of the EM java login procedure/bean/servlet/jsp being able to set the thin driver to use the radius code in the jdbc layer.
The other option, which I haven't yet given up on would be to hack the EM code so that instead of using 10g thin drivers it uses 10g OCI jdbc (thick) drivers. The thick drivers support the radius authentication and encryption/checksum features natively, and the settings are controled by the sqlnet.ora file. I've got java code using those just fine. If only I could hack EM to use them.
In short, if I had access to the source, I could probably code this up in a week. Very frustrating.
I thought about trying the OID route, but as I said in my original post, we don't have a license. Even if I got it working, and it sounds like it doesn't really work, I can't justify spending $x00,000 for 10-15 dbas not to have to use dedicated accounts and passwords.
Normal user login to our 9i and 10g databases we have working with radius (backed by Active Directory). All we do is "create user xxxxxx identified externally;" and the user is good to go.
In short, I think EM GridControl is awesome. I manage 36 databases with it and I've solved problems in minutes that used to take hours or days. When I show it to some of our oracle "power users" they all want it, but they're all radius authenticated.
I'll keep the thread updated if I see results from our SR.
