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 website:

   Code Block
   cd /root/datacore curl -fLO https://dl.duosecurity.com/acert-linux chmod +x acert-linux

2. Verify all Swarm Content Gateway servers can reach the Active Directory server 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

Or test using curl command line result with Connected

curl "ldaps://acme.local:636/dc=acme,dc=local" -u "CN=ldapuser,CN=Users,DC=acme,DC=local" -vvv

Output:

Configure LDAPS on Swarm Content Gateway

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 authentication with Active Directory LDAP.

3. Change the protocol

   1. Protocol: ldap ➔ ldaps

   2. Port ldapPort: 389 ➔ 636

4. Use the LDAPS/AD credentials to log in to the Content Gateway portal (UIC).

   Code Block

   { "ldap": { "name": "ad-ldap", "description": "This is acem.local Active Directory LDAP configuration", "protocol": "ldaps", "ldaphost": "acme.local", "ldapport": "636", "adminDN": "CN=ldapuser,CN=Users,DC=acme,DC=local", "adminPassword": "P@ssw0rd", "userBase": "CN=Users,DC=acme,DC=local", "groupBase": "CN=Domain Admins,CN=Users,DC=acme,DC=local", "uidAttribute": "sAMAccountName", "userFilter": "objectclass=*", "groupMemberDNAttr": "", "groupMemberUidAttr": "member", "cookieName": "token", "tokenPath": "/.TOKEN/", "s3SecretKeyAttr": "dcadmin@" } }

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

   

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
