LDAP config

LDAP can be configured using environment variables. If you typically run cerebro using docker, you can pass a file with all the env vars. The file would look like:

# Set it to ldap to activate ldap authorization
AUTH_TYPE=ldap

# Your ldap url
LDAP_URL=ldap://exammple.com:389

LDAP_BASE_DN=OU=users,DC=example,DC=com

# Usually method should  be "simple" otherwise, set it to the SASL mechanisms
LDAP_METHOD=simple

# user-template executes a string.format() operation where
# username is passed in first, followed by base-dn. Some examples
#  - %s => leave user untouched
#  - %s@domain.com => append "@domain.com" to username
#  - uid=%s,%s => usual case of OpenLDAP
LDAP_USER_TEMPLATE=%s@example.com

# User identifier that can perform searches
LDAP_BIND_DN=admin@example.com
LDAP_BIND_PWD=adminpass

# Group membership settings (optional)

# If left unset LDAP_BASE_DN will be used
# LDAP_GROUP_BASE_DN=OU=users,DC=example,DC=com

# Attribute that represent the user, for example uid or mail
# LDAP_USER_ATTR=mail

# If left unset LDAP_USER_TEMPLATE will be used
# LDAP_USER_ATTR_TEMPLATE=%s

# Filter that tests membership of the group. If this property is empty then there is no group membership check
# AD example => memberOf=CN=mygroup,ou=ouofthegroup,DC=domain,DC=com
# OpenLDAP example => CN=mygroup
# LDAP_GROUP=memberOf=memberOf=CN=mygroup,ou=ouofthegroup,DC=domain,DC=com

You can the pass this file as argument using:

 docker run -p 9000:9000 --env-file env-ldap  lmenezes/cerebro

Other settings

Other settings are exposed through the conf/application.conf file found on the application directory.

It is also possible to use an alternate configuration file defined on a different location:

bin/cerebro -Dconfig.file=/some/other/dir/alternate.conf
