MGR Dashboard LDAP/AD Integration

Integrating AD/LDAP domains for user authentication to ceph mgr dashboard. This would benefit users in access restriction and user management with role-based access. For example, AD users would be able to authenticate using their own domain credentials and take actions according to their mgr dashboard roles.

    Hi,

    The current Dashboard implementation(5.x/6.x/7.x) supports authentication using SSO(SAML2), so you can use an SSO like Keycloack(RHSSO) and an IDP backend like AD/LDAP to authenticate/map your dashboard users to your enterprise AD/LDAP.


    Here is the documentation with the required steps: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/storage-ceph/6?topic=ia-syncing-users-ceph-dashboard-using-red-hat-single-sign


    Using SSO(SAML2) to connect to an IDP backend is the way forward for dashboard authentication, so other authentication methods, like direct integration of LDAP/AD, are not currently on the roadmap.


    Thanks
