   }

Elements of the response message body include:

Element

Type

 Description

Notes
bind_dn

string

The Distinguished Name that SPS should use to bind to the LDAP directory.

Must be used if the value of the selection element is set to ldap.

NOTE: SPS accepts both pre Windows 2000-style and Windows 2003-style account names, or User Principal Names (UPNs). For example, administrator@example.com is also accepted.

bind_password null | string

References the password SPS uses to authenticate on the server. You can configure passwords at the /api/configuration/passwords/ endpoint.

Must be used if the value of the selection element is set to ldap.

To modify or add a password, use the value of the returned key as the value of the password element, and remove any child elements (including the key).

NOTE: SPS accepts passwords that are not longer than 150 characters and supports the following characters:

  • Letters A-Z, a-z

  • Numbers 0-9

  • The space character

  • Special characters: !"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<>=?@[]\^-`{}_|

encryption union

Configuration settings for encrypting the communication between SPS and the LDAP server.

The displayed value type depends on the encryption.selection parameter.

encryption.selection enum

Defines the type of encryption SPS uses to communicate with the LDAP server. Possible values are:

  • disabled

    The communication is not encrypted.

  • ssl

    TLS/SSL encryption. To use a TLS-encrypted with certificate verification to connect to the LDAP server, use the full domain name (for example ldap.example.com) as the server address, otherwise the certificate verification might fail. The name of the LDAP server must appear in the Common Name of the certificate.

    NOTE: TLS-encrypted connection to Microsoft Active Directory is supported only on Windows 2003 Server and newer platforms. Windows 2000 Server is not supported.

  • starttls

    Opportunistic TLS.

  • Example if the value is disabled

    {
  "selection": "disabled"
}

  • Example if the value is ssl or starttls:

    {
  "selection": "ssl | starttls",
  "trust_store": null|<trust-store-ref>,
  "client_authentication": null|<x509-ref>
}

group_base_dn

string

Name of the DN to be used as the base of queries regarding groups.

NOTE: You must fill in this field. It is OK to use the same value for user_base_dn and group_base_dn.

However, note that specifying a sufficiently narrow base for the LDAP subtrees where users and groups are stored can speed up LDAP operations.

Example:

"ou=users,ou=example"

name

string

Top level element, the name of the object. This name is also displayed on the SPS web interface. It cannot contain whitespace.

 

schema

union

AD and POSIX specific LDAP configuration.

  • Example with LDAP AD server, where the schema selection is ad:

    {
  "selection": "ad",
  "membership_check": ...,
  "memberof_check": ...,
  "user_dn_in_groups": …
}

  • Example with LDAP POSIX server, where the schema selection is posix:

    {
  "selection": "posix",
  "membership_check": ...,
  "memberof_check": ...,
  "user_dn_in_groups": ...,
  "username_attribute": …
}

schema.memberof_check

object

The Enable checking for group DNs in user objects setting allows checking a configurable attribute in the user object. This attribute contains a list of group DNs the user is additionally a member of. This user attribute is usually memberOf.

  • Example with LDAP AD server, if memberof_check and memberof_user_attribute are enabled:

    "schema": {
               "memberof_check": {
                 "enabled": true,
                 "memberof_user_attribute": "memberOf"
               }

  • Example with LDAP POSIX server, if memberof_check is enabled:

    "schema": {
               "memberof_check": {
                 "enabled": true,
                 "memberof_group_objectclass": "groupOfNames",
                 "memberof_user_attribute": "memberOf"
               }

  • To disable memberof_check for both LDAP AD and LDAP POSIX servers, set the enabled parameter to false.

    "schema": {
               "memberof_check": {
                 "enabled": false
               }

schema.memberof_check.enabled

boolean

To enable memberof_check, set it to true.

This attribute is the same for both LDAP AD and LDAP POSIX schema.

schema.membership_check

object

  • POSIX: POSIX primary and supplementary group membership checking.

  • AD: Active Directory specific non-primary group membership checking.

  • Example with LDAP AD server, if membership_check and nested_groups are enabled:

    "membership_check": {
                "enabled": true,
                "nested_groups": true | false"
              }

  • Example with LDAP POSIX server, if membership_check and member_uid_attribute are enabled:

    "membership_check": {
                "enabled": true,
                "member_uid_attribute": null | "memberUid"
              }

  • To disable membership_check for both LDAP AD and LDAP POSIX servers, set the enabled parameter to false.

    "membership_check": {
                "enabled": false
              }

schema.membership_check.enabled

boolean

POSIX: Enables POSIX primary and supplementary group membership checking.

AD: Enables Active Directory specific non-primary group membership checking.

 

schema.membership_check.member_uid_attribute

string

Must be used if the value of the selection element is set to posix.

The POSIX group membership attribute name is the name of the attribute in a posixGroup group object, which lists the plain usernames that are members of the group. These groups are usually referred to as supplementary groups of the referred user. Can be null.

Default value: memberUid

schema.selection

string

Configures which LDAP schema to use: AD or POSIX. Possible values are:

  • ad: Microsoft Active Directory server. For details and examples, see Configuring LDAP servers.

  • posix: The server uses the POSIX LDAP scheme.

    Must be used with the member_uid_attribute and username_attribute elements. For details and examples, see Configuring LDAP servers.

Default value: ad, posix

schema.user_dn_in_groups

array

Add object_class / attribute pairs. SPS will search for the user DN in the group's attribute defined here. If it finds the user DN there, SPS considers the user the member of that group.

Example:

"user_dn_in_groups": [
                  {
                    "attribute": "member",
                    "object_class": "groupOfNames"
                  },
                  {
                    "attribute": "uniqueMember",
                    "object_class": "groupOfUniqueNames"
                  }
                ]

The array can return empty:

"user_dn_in_groups": []

user_dn_in_groups can serve as additional validation. At least one out of membership_check, memberof_check or user_dn_in_groups must be filled for validation.

schema.user_dn_in_groups.attribute

string

Name of the group attribute which contains the user DN.

Default value: member

schema.user_dn_in_groups.object_class

string

Consider groups of this objectClass.

Possible values: groupOfNames, groupOfUniqueNames

schema.username_attribute

string

The login attribute that uniquely identifies a single user record.

Default value: uid

servers

array

Contains the addresses and ports of the LDAP servers.

The displayed value type depends on the servers.host.selection parameter.

Possible values are: ip, fqdn

  • Example if the host selection is ip:

    "servers": [
                {
                  "host":{
                    "selection": "ip",
                    "value": "1.2.3.4"
                  },
                  "port": 123
                }
              ],

  • Example, if the host selection is fqdn:

    "servers": [
                {
                  "host": {
                    "selection": "fqdn",
                    "value": "my.example"
                  },
                  "port": 123
                }
              ],

Managing SPS

Topics:

Troubleshooting options

Configures debug logging and the retention time of core dump files.

  • Debug logging increases the log level of the non-network-related events, adding the commands executed by the SPS web interface to the log.

  • SPS automatically generates core dump files if an important software component of the system crashes. These core dump files can be of great help to the One Identity Support Team to identify problems. To download the generated core dump files, navigate to Basic Settings > Troubleshooting > Core files on the web interface of SPS.

URL
GET https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/troubleshooting
Cookies
Cookie name Description Required Values
session_id Contains the authentication token of the user Required

The value of the session ID cookie received from the REST server in the authentication response, for example, a1f71d030e657634730b9e887cb59a5e56162860. For more information on authentication, see Authenticate to the SPS REST API.

NOTE: This session ID refers to the connection between the REST client and the SPS REST API. It is not related to the sessions that SPS records (and which also have a session ID, but in a different format).
