Good afternoon, 

We cannot access to Ovirt using LDAP authentication against our openldap server. We created the following files in /etc/ovirt-engine/extensions.d (the organization name is not example.org and the passwords are not XXXXXXXX, obviously) :

----------- /etc/ovirt-engine/extensions.d/ldap.example.org -----------

include = <openldap_example.properties>

vars.server = ldap1.example.org
vars.user = cn=authenticate,ou=System,dc=example,dc=org
vars.password = "XXXXXXXX"

pool.default.serverset.single.server = ${global:vars.server}
pool.default.auth.simple.bindDN = ${global:vars.user}
pool.default.auth.simple.password = ${global:vars.password}

pool.default.ssl.startTLS = true
pool.default.ssl.truststore.file = /etc/ovirt-engine/extensions.d/ldap.example.org_keystore.jks
pool.default.ssl.truststore.password = XXXXXXXX

----------- /etc/ovirt-engine/extensions.d/authn-ldap.example.org.properties -----------

ovirt.engine.extension.name = authn-ldap.example.org
ovirt.engine.extension.bindings.method = jbossmodule
ovirt.engine.extension.binding.jbossmodule.module = org.ovirt.engine-extensions.aaa.ldap
ovirt.engine.extension.binding.jbossmodule.class = org.ovirt.engineextensions.aaa.ldap.AuthnExtension
ovirt.engine.extension.provides = org.ovirt.engine.api.extensions.aaa.Authn

ovirt.engine.aaa.authn.profile.name = ldap.example.org
ovirt.engine.aaa.authn.authz.plugin = authz-ldap.example.org

config.profile.file.1 = /etc/ovirt-engine/extensions.d/ldap.example.org

----------- /etc/ovirt-engine/extensions.d/authz-ldap.example.org.properties -----------

ovirt.engine.extension.name = authz-ldap.example.org
ovirt.engine.extension.bindings.method = jbossmodule
ovirt.engine.extension.binding.jbossmodule.module = org.ovirt.engine-extensions.aaa.ldap
ovirt.engine.extension.binding.jbossmodule.class = org.ovirt.engineextensions.aaa.ldap.AuthzExtension

ovirt.engine.extension.provides = org.ovirt.engine.api.extensions.aaa.Authz
config.profile.file.1 = /etc/ovirt-engine/extensions.d/ldap.example.org

------------------------------------------------

After all of this we restarted the service and tried to access via the administration portal. The JKS has the right permissions and contains the TLS CA, the password is correct and the user "esthera" exists. But when we try to log in, we obtain the following error in the engine.log (we already set the verbosity to ALL):

------------------------------------------------

Having a look at the LDAP log we check that there is a "invalid credentials" error while binding, but we are sure that the bind password is the right one. We already tried to set the bind password without quotes, but then the DN user then appear as an empty string ("")

------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------

By the way, the Ovirt manager (ovmgr) machine can query correctly the openldap server and retrieves everything OK

------------------------------------------------

[root@ovmgr extensions.d]# ldapsearch -ZZ -D cn=authenticate,ou=System,dc=example,dc=org -W  
Enter LDAP Password: 
# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <dc=example,dc=org> (default) with scope subtree
# filter: (objectclass=*)
# requesting: ALL
#

# pic.es
dn: dc=example,dc=org
dc: pic
objectClass: top
objectClass: domain

------------------------------------------------

Did anybody had a similar problem ? Is there anything that we didn't check ?

Thanks in advance !
