Enabling LDAP Authentication

The LDAP WebYaST module allows you to enable authentication via LDAP. Once configured, LDAP users are available in roles management and LDAP users are able to log in WebYaST. To enable LDAP authentication, follow these steps:

  1. Log into the WebYaST interface of the target system and start the LDAP module.

  2. Check the Enable LDAP Authentication option.

  3. Set the LDAP Server Address and Base DN as provided by your administrator. It is possible to acquire the Base DN from the server with the Fetch DN button.

  4. Check Secure Connection if a secure connection should be used.

  5. Click Save

  6. If you are using LDAP together with Kerberos, use the Kerberos WebYaST module to configure Kerberos. For more information, see the section called “Enabling Kerberos Authentication”.
