download PDF

Ansible Automation Platform Central Authentication comes with a built-in LDAP/AD provider. You can add your LDAP provider to central authentication to be able to import user attributes from your LDAP database.

Prerequisites

  • You are logged in as an SSO admin user.

Procedure

  1. Log in to Ansible Automation Platform Central Authentication as an SSO admin user.
  2. From the navigation panel, select Configure section User Federation.
Note

When using an LDAP User Federation in RH-SSO, a group mapper must be added to the client configuration, ansible-automation-platform, to expose the identity provider (IDP) groups to the SAML authentication. Refer to OIDC Token and SAML Assertion Mappings for more information on SAML assertion mappers.

  1. From the Add provider list, select your LDAP provider to proceed to the LDAP configuration page.

The following table lists the available options for your LDAP configuration:
