ClearOS LDAP configuration

You need to install the Certificate Manager and Directory Server modules.

• Create an okmAdmin user in ClearOS.
• Create ROLE_ADMIN and ROLE_USER groups in ClearOS and populate them.

LDAP Structure

dc=local
    dc=mydomain
	    ou=Accounts
		    ou=Groups
			    cn=ROLE_ADMIN
				    member=okmAdmin
				    member=user1
				    member=user2
				    objectClass=posixGroup
			    cn=ROLE_USER
				    member=user3
				    member=user4
				    objectClass=posixGroup
			    cn=ROLE_XXXX
				    objectClass=posixGroup
			    cn=ROLE_YYYY
				    objectClass=posixGroup
			    ...

                    ou=Users
			    uid=okmAdmin
				    memberOf=CN=ROLE_ADMIN,ou=Groups,ou=Accounts,dc=mydomain,dc=local
				    mail=okmAdmin@mail.com
				    cn=OpenKM Administrator
				    objectClass=inetOrgPerson
			    uid=user1
				    memberOf=CN=ROLE_ADMIN,ou=Groups,ou=Accounts,dc=mydomain,dc=local
				    mail=user1@mail.com
				    cn=User Name 1
				    objectClass=inetOrgPerson
			    uid=user2
				    memberOf=CN=ROLE_ADMIN,ou=Groups,ou=Accounts,dc=mydomain,dc=local
				    mail=user2@mail.com
				    cn=User Name 3
				    objectClass=inetOrgPerson

Step 1 - configuration parameters

Go to Administration > Configuration parameters

Step 2 - create a Certificate

By default, ClearOS only allows LDAPS.

Add the CA cert to the nssdb:

The LDAP server certificate needs to be saved in the nssdb under the name Server-Cert.

Edit the file /etc/openldap/slapd.conf:

TLSCACertificatePath    /etc/pki/nssdb
TLSCertificateFile      Server-Cert
TLSVerifyClient         never

Allow LDAP in ClearOS to be queried by OpenKM ? edit the end of slapd.conf as follows:

access to *
    by self write
    by peername.ip=127.0.0.1 read
    ...
    by peername.ip=<OpenKM's IP address> read

Copy ClearOS' public CA certificate to the OpenKM server and add it to OpenKM's keystore:

Step 3 - configure login

Apply the changes in the openkm.properties file.

The parameter "okm.authentication.database" is used to disable database login.

The parameter "okm.authentication.ldap" is used to enable LDAP login.

#Authentication
okm.authentication.database=false
okm.authentication.ldap=true

#LDAP
ldap.server=ldaps://ldap.mydomain.local
ldap.manager.distinguished.name=cn=Manager,ou=Internal,dc=mydomain,dc=local
ldap.manager.password=*secret*
ldap.base=dc=mydomain,dc=local
ldap.role.attribute=cn
ldap.user.search.filter=uid={0}
ldap.role.search.filter=member={0}

Another option to configure login

In some cases you might be interested in setting the configuration in the openkm.xml file; please refer to Configuring openkm.xml documentation section for more information.
