This role manages LDAP authentication sources, allowing users from an external source such as Active Directory or FreeIPA to authenticate to Foreman.

Role Variables

This role supports the Common Role Variables.

The main data structure for this role is the list of foreman_auth_sources_ldap. Each auth_source_ldap requires the following fields:

• name: The name of the authentication source.

For all other fields see the auth_source_ldap module.

Example Playbooks

Configure FreeIPA as an authentication source, with automatic registration:

- hosts: localhost
  roles:
    - role: theforeman.foreman.auth_sources_ldap
      vars:
        foreman_server_url: https://foreman.example.com
        foreman_username: "admin"
        foreman_password: "changeme"
        foreman_organization: "ACME"
        foreman_auth_sources_ldap:
          - name: "Example LDAP"
            host: "ldap.example.org"
            onthefly_register: true
            account: uid=ansible,cn=sysaccounts,cn=etc,dc=example,dc=com
            account_password: secret
            base_dn: dc=example,dc=com
            groups_base: cn=groups,cn=accounts, dc=example,dc=com
            server_type: free_ipa
            attr_login: uid
            attr_firstname: givenName
            attr_lastname: sn
            attr_mail: mail
            attr_photo: jpegPhoto
            state: present

To instead integrate with Active Directory, only allowing users who are member of the “Domain Users” group:

- hosts: localhost
  roles:
    - role: theforeman.foreman.auth_sources_ldap
      vars:
        foreman_server_url: https://foreman.example.com
        foreman_username: "admin"
        foreman_password: "changeme"
        foreman_organization: "ACME"
        foreman_auth_sources_ldap:
          - name: "Example AD"
            host: "ad.example.org"
            onthefly_register: true
            account: EXAMPLE\ansible
            account_password: secret
            base_dn: cn=Users,dc=example,dc=com
            groups_base: cn=Users,dc=example,dc=com
            server_type: active_directory
            attr_login: sAMAccountName
            attr_firstname: givenName
            attr_lastname: sn
            attr_mail: mail
            ldap_filter: (memberOf=CN=Domain Users,CN=Users,DC=example,DC=com)
            state: present
