Centralized authentication

⦾ Why am I unable to login using LDAP credentials after successfully creating a user account?

Potential Cause: Whitespaces in the LDIF file may have caused an encryption error. Verify whether there are any whitespaces in the file by running cat -vet <filename>.

Resolution: Remove the whitespaces and re-run the LDIF file.

⦾ Why does the TASK [hostname_validation : Verify the domain name is not blank in hostname] fail?

Potential Cause: Hostname is not configured properly with the domain name, on the target node.

Resolution: Use the following commands to configure the hostname properly:

sysctl kernel.hostname=node001.omnia.test
hostnamectl set-hostname node001.omnia.test

Note

node001.omnia.test is an acceptable sample hostname.

⦾ Why does the user login fail for an OpenLDAP user?

Potential Cause: Incorrect OpenLDAP service is running on the authentication server.

Resolution: Ensure that slapd-ltb.service is running on the authentication server. Use the following command to check if the service running:

systemctl status slapd-ltb.service
