Authentication

This section enables you to set up single sign-on between Keycloak or LDAP, and product. This section assumes you have installed and are using Keycloak or LDAP.

In each of the configurations, you can select a group to which the user will be automatically assigned.

Keycloak

Note. Supported Keycloak versions: 15.1 and newer

• Server URL - Keycloak server URL (if you want to use fqdn of server url you need to use DNS on Server machine or add line in /etc/hosts, for example: '1.2.3.4 dc.fqdn.address')

• Realm - Name of the realm configured in Keycloak

• Resource - Name of the client configured in keycloak

• Secret (optional) - Credential secret, if configured in Keycloak

Note. To login via vPlus login screen (e.g. if the keycloak server dies) add #/login-sbr at the end of the URL - http(s)://SERVER_IP/#/login-sbr

LDAP

Note.

• accounts will be added to vPlus automatically with the first successful login

• all LDAP variables are case sensitive

• Server URL - LDAP server URL (if you want to use fqdn of server url you need to use DNS on Server machine or add line in /etc/hosts, for example: '1.2.3.4 dc.fqdn.address')

• Base DN - Base DN (Distinguished Name) that needs to be searched (it needs full chain to OU with Users which you want to log into)

• User filter - filter to be used to authenticate only users in a specific group:

In example:

(&(mail={user})(memberOf=CN=Domain Admins,CN=Users,DC=example,DC=com))

The filter is combined from two sections:

• First section - (mail={user}) - is a variable from LDAP account, which will be used as login

• Second section - (memberOf=CN=Domain Admins,CN=Users,DC=example,DC=com) - is an actual filter, which define who can log into WebUI, you need to define here variable name and DN of specific variable

Explanation of other options:

• Enable LDAP subtree search - when disabled, only 1 level below base DN is being searched

• Use SSL - enables SSL for LDAP connection ('ldaps://')

• Use TLS - enables TLS for LDAP connection

• Anonymous access allowed - if users are not allowed to anonymously browse LDAP directory, you need to provide an account that has that privilege:

  • Service account DN - DN of the user

  • Service account password - password of that user
