Re: Does Keystone work with OpenLDAP as backend?

 

Hi Krishnaprasad,

Yes Keystone will work with OpenLDAP as a backend. In fact you can 
pulldown devstack and set some values in localrc and it will install 
OpenLDAP and configure keystone to use it. Check out the keystone section 
in

http://devstack.org/stack.sh.html


Keystone can now optionally install OpenLDAP by adding ldap to the list of 
enabled services in the localrc file (e.g. ENABLED_SERVICES=key,ldap). If 
OpenLDAP has already been installed but you need to clear out the Keystone 
contents of LDAP set KEYSTONE_CLEAR_LDAP to yes (e.g. 
KEYSTONE_CLEAR_LDAP=yes ) in the localrc file. To enable the Keystone 
Identity Driver (keystone.identity.backends.ldap.Identity) set 
KEYSTONE_IDENTITY_BACKEND to ldap (e.g. KEYSTONE_IDENTITY_BACKEND=ldap) in 
the localrc file.

Thanks,

Brad

Hallo All,
 
I have a basic question regarding Keystone. Can I get to know what are all 
the back ends used in Keystone?
 
Does Keystone work with OpenLDAP as back end? Can any users in this forum 
share their experience regarding the integration of Keystone with 
OpenLDAP?
 
Thanks
