1. Re: LDAPS authentication possible? (Christopher Doolan)
--- Begin Message ---
Hi Oliver, I am looking at how to move Netdisco over to LDAPS and in doing so I
came across the previous e-mail discussions as shown below in the thread below.
Regrettably, my knowledge for such things is more of a just in time type of
knowledge, because I know I will not touch something like LDAP authentication
until the next AD upgrade.
By that time my documentation is usually out of date and I am back to square
one.
So currently, my LDAP configuration in deployment.yml looks something like this
and for the time being it is working.
ldap:
servers: [1.1.1.1, 2.2.2.2, 3.3.3.3]
user_string: 'DOMAIN\%USER%'
I see in the https://github.com/netdisco/netdisco/wiki/Configuration#ldap the
following option;
tls_opts
A hash which, when defined, causes the connection to use Transport Layer
Security (TLS) which provides an encrypted connection. TLS is the preferred
method of encryption, ldaps (port 636) is not supported.
This is only possible if using LDAPv3 and the server supports it. These are the
options for the TLS connection. See the
Net::LDAP<https://metacpan.org/pod/Net::LDAP> documentation under start_tls for
options, but the defaults should work in most cases.
Does this mean I add the following to my deployment.yml (I know it can’t be
that easy).
ldap:
servers: [1.1.1.1, 2.2.2.2, 3.3.3.3]
user_string: 'DOMAIN\%USER%'
tls_opts: #
When it comes to implementing the other option, as shown in Net::LDAP, my
problem right off is that I have no idea where I make, modify or add these
changes.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Chris

Yet https://metacpan.org/pod/Net::LDAP has an ldaps URL as the second example.
Maybe it used not to support it but does now?
Cheers
