Chapter 17. Using the Pass-through Authentication Plug-in
428
This entry contains the LDAP URL for the configuration directory. For example:
dn: cn=Pass Through Authentication,cn=plugins,
...
nsslapd-pluginEnabled: on
nsslapd-pluginarg0: ldap://configdir.example.com/o=NetscapeRoot
...
The user directory is now configured to send all bind requests for entries with a DN containing
o=NetscapeRoot
to the configuration directory
configdir.example.com
.
5. When installation is complete, the
admin
user attempts to connect to the user directory to begin
adding users.
6. The setup program adds the
admin
user's entry to the directory as
uid=admin,
ou=TopologyManagement,o=NetscapeRoot
. So the user directory passes the bind request
through to the configuration directory as defined by the PTA Plug-in configuration.
7. The configuration directory authenticates the user's credentials and sends the information back to
the user directory.
8. The user directory allows the
admin
user to bind.
17.2. PTA Plug-in Syntax
PTA Plug-in configuration information is specified in the
cn=Pass Through
Authentication,cn=plugins,cn=config
entry on the PTA directory (the user directory
configured to pass through bind requests to the authenticating directory) using the required PTA
syntax. There are only two attributes in this entry that are significant:
•
nsslapd-pluginEnabled
, which sets whether the plug-in is enabled or disabled. The value for this
attribute can be
on
or
off
.
•
nsslapd-pluginarg0
, which points to the configuration directory. The value for this attribute is the
LDAP URL of the server and suffix to which to pass the bind requests, along with the optional
parameters,
maxconns
,
maxops
,
timeout
,
ldver
,
connlifetime
.
The variable components of the PTA plug-in syntax are described in
Table 17.1, “PTA Plug-in
Parameters”
.
NOTE
The LDAP URL (
ldap|ldaps://
authDS/subtree
) must be separated from the optional
parameters (
maxconns, maxops, timeout, ldver, connlifetime
) by a single space. If any of
the optional parameters are defined, all of them must be defined, even if only the default
values are used.
Several authenticating directories or subtrees can be specified by incrementing the
nsslapd-pluginarg
attribute suffix by one each time, as in
Section 17.4.2, “Specifying
Multiple Authenticating Directory Servers”
. For example:
nsslapd-pluginarg0: LDAP URL for the first server
nsslapd-pluginarg1: LDAP URL for the second server
