    Code Block
    /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/acme-ca-bundle.crt
  2. Run the following command on each Swarm Content Gateway server:

    Code Block
    update-ca-trust
  3. Restart the Swarm Content Gateway Services on each Swarm Content Gateway:

    Code Block
    systemctl restart cloudgateway

Test LDAPS connection from Swarm Content Gateway

  1. Download the acert certificate verification utility to each Swarm Content Gateway server and verify the file against the SHA-256 checksums listed on the Duo Certification Verification Utility to each Swarm Gateway: website:

    Code Block
    cd /root/datacore

    
    curl -fLO https://dl.duosecurity.com/acert-linux

    
    chmod +x acert-linux
  2. Make sure each Gateway server Verify all Swarm Content Gateway servers can reach the Active Directory server (e.g. ping / traceroute using tools such as ping, traceroute, or equivalent).

  3. Run the following command to verify the LDAPS certificate:

    Code Block
    ./acert-linux -host ad.acme.local -port 636

  1. Create a User account that can log in to Active Directory with read only access to LDAP/LDAPS.

  2. Refer to https://perifery.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/public/pages/2443816826/IDSYS+Document+Format#LDAP-and-AD-Fields to configure gateway authenticate authentication with Active Directory LDAP.

    2. Port 389 ➔ 636

  4. Now, test if you are able Use the LDAPS/AD credentials to log in to the Content Gateway portal (UIC (content) Gateway portal using LDAPS/AD credentials.

  5. In case the test login to the Swarm Content Gateway UI failedfails:

  6. Verify errors by Request ID in /var/log/caringo/cloudgateway_server.log and follow the troubleshooting steps in LDAP Configuration .

    Code Block
    grep 'request_id' /var/log/caringo/cloudgateway_server.log

    Sample certificate error:
