RHEL 7 Active Directory/LDAP Integration

Post by tvanhill »

FYI, it appears the instructions for configure AD/LDAP integration using SSL is incorrect (https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... d-LDAP.pdf) for RHEL 7 (we are on 7.8). The instructions state that the certificate authority certificate should be copied to /etc/openldap/cacerts (along with several steps to get to that point). The same steps are performed if you use the Web Site (Admin -> LDAP/AD Integration - Add Certificate). However, after performing these steps and verifying the correct certificate was included, I still could not add users from Active Directory.

In order to make it work, I had to copy the CA certificate to "/etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors" and run the "update-ca-trust" command to update CA trust store. After performing these steps I was able to authenticate to the AD servers. Also note that "ldapsearch" would not connect to AD without this change.
