Integrate Identity back end with LDAP¶

The Identity back end contains information for users, groups, and group member lists. Integrating the Identity back end with LDAP allows administrators to use users and groups in LDAP.

Integrating an Identity back end with LDAP

1. Enable the LDAP Identity driver in the keystone.conf file. This allows LDAP as an identity back end:

   1 2 3

   [identity] #driver = keystone.identity.backends.sql.Identity driver = keystone.identity.backends.ldap.Identity

2. Create the organizational units (OU) in the LDAP directory, and define the corresponding location in the keystone.conf file:

   1 2 3 4 5 6

   [ldap] user_tree_dn = ou=Users,dc=example,dc=org user_objectclass = inetOrgPerson group_tree_dn = ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=org group_objectclass = groupOfNames

   Note

   These schema attributes are extensible for compatibility with various schemas. For example, this entry maps to the person attribute in Active Directory:

   user_objectclass = person
   

3. A read-only implementation is recommended for LDAP integration. These permissions are applied to object types in the keystone.conf:

   1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

   [ldap] user_allow_create = False user_allow_update = False user_allow_delete = False group_allow_create = False group_allow_update = False group_allow_delete = False

   Restart the OpenStack Identity service:

   # service keystone restart
   

   Warning

   During service restart, authentication and authorization are unavailable.

Integrating Identity with multiple back ends

1. Set the following options in the /etc/keystone/keystone.conf file:

   1. Enable the LDAP driver:

      [identity]
      #driver = keystone.identity.backends.sql.Identity
      driver = keystone.identity.backends.ldap.Identity
      

   2. Enable domain-specific drivers:

      [identity]
      domain_specific_drivers_enabled = True
      domain_config_dir = /etc/keystone/domains
      

2. Restart the service:

   # service keystone restart
   

3. List the domains using the dashboard, or the OpenStackClient CLI. Refer to the Command List for a list of OpenStackClient commands.

4. Create domains using OpenStack dashboard, or the OpenStackClient CLI.

5. For each domain, create a domain-specific configuration file in the /etc/keystone/domains directory. Use the file naming convention keystone.DOMAIN_NAME.conf, where DOMAIN_NAME is the domain name assigned in the previous step.

   Note

   The options set in the /etc/keystone/domains/keystone.DOMAIN_NAME.conf file will override options in the /etc/keystone/keystone.conf file.

6. Define the destination LDAP server in the /etc/keystone/domains/keystone.DOMAIN_NAME.conf file. For example:

   1 2 3 4 5 6 7

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

7. Create the organizational units (OU) in the LDAP directories, and define their corresponding locations in the /etc/keystone/domains/keystone.DOMAIN_NAME.conf file. For example:

   1 2 3 4 5 6

   [ldap] user_tree_dn = ou=Users,dc=example,dc=org user_objectclass = inetOrgPerson group_tree_dn = ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=org group_objectclass = groupOfNames

   Note

   These schema attributes are extensible for compatibility with various schemas. For example, this entry maps to the person attribute in Active Directory:

   user_objectclass = person
   

8. A read-only implementation is recommended for LDAP integration. These permissions are applied to object types in the /etc/keystone/domains/keystone.DOMAIN_NAME.conf file:

   [ldap]
   user_allow_create = False
   user_allow_update = False
   user_allow_delete = False
   
   group_allow_create = False
   group_allow_update = False
   group_allow_delete = False
   

9. Restart the OpenStack Identity service:

   # service keystone restart
   

   Warning

   During service restart, authentication and authorization are unavailable.

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.

Filters

Use filters to control the scope of data presented through LDAP.

1 2 3

[ldap] user_filter = (memberof=cn=openstack-users,ou=workgroups,dc=example,dc=org) group_filter =

Identity attribute mapping

Mask account status values (include any additional attribute mappings) for compatibility with various directory services. Superfluous accounts are filtered with user_filter.

Setting attribute ignore to list of attributes stripped off on update.

For example, you can mask Active Directory account status attributes in the keystone.conf file:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19

[ldap] user_id_attribute = cn user_name_attribute = sn user_mail_attribute = mail user_pass_attribute = userPassword user_enabled_attribute = userAccountControl user_enabled_mask = 2 user_enabled_invert = false user_enabled_default = 51 user_default_project_id_attribute = user_attribute_ignore = default_project_id,tenants user_additional_attribute_mapping = group_id_attribute = cn group_name_attribute = ou group_member_attribute = member group_desc_attribute = description group_attribute_ignore = group_additional_attribute_mapping =

Enabled emulation

An alternative method to determine if a user is enabled or not is by checking if that user is a member of the emulation group.

Use DN of the group entry to hold enabled user when using enabled emulation.
