Hello there,
I am trying to setup LDAP authentication with X-Pack, I have created a normal user, but that didn't work for me either ways (with user and without user) I get the webpage.
curl -u vijay:XXXX [http://abc.com:9200](http://abc.com:9200) - it works
curl [http://abc.com:9200](http://abc.com:9200) - it works
Tried LDAP stuff since it is the requirement, but didn't quite know to check my LDAP configuration is working or not.
Configuration entries elasticsearch.yml
xpack:
security:
authc:
realms:
ldap1:
type: ldap
order: 0
url: "ldaps://gslb.yyg.yyads.google.com:636"
bind\_dn: "cn=hello, ou=users, dc=YYG, dc=YYADS, dc=google, DC=COM"
bind\_password: password
user\_search:
base\_dn: "dc=YYG, dc=YYADS, dc=GOOGLE, DC=COM"
attribute: cn
group\_search:
base\_dn: "dc=YYG, dc=YYADS, dc=GOOGLE, DC=COM"
Please let me know if I am missing something and how to test this.
