Disable a configuration synchronization plugin

To disable a configuration synchronization plugin on the Central Management node, complete the following steps.

  1. Open a transaction.

    For more information, see Open a transaction.

  2. To disable the plugin, replace /api/cluster/configuration_sync_plugin with:
    {
    "enabled": false
}

    For example:

    curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --cookie cookies https://<IP-address-of-Central-Management-node>/api/cluster/configuration_sync_plugin --data '{"enabled": false}'

    The following is a sample response received:

    {
    "plugin": {
        "key": null,
        "meta": {}
    }
}
  3. Commit your changes.

Testing LDAP server connection

Use the /ldaptest endpoint to test whether your LDAP server configuration was successful and the connection between the LDAP server and SPS can be established. You can identify connection issues based on the specific error messages received (for example, unsuccessful authorization due to incomplete credentials).

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

Type

 Description

Notes

success

boolean

Indicates that the connection to the provided LDAP server could be established.

Possible values are:

meta.href

string (relative path)

Path of the resource that returned the response. When creating a new object, this is the URL of the created object.

string (relative path)

Identifier of the LDAP server that was tested.

meta.parent

string (relative path)

HTTP response codes

HTTP response codes comprise of standard or endpoint-specific HTTP status and error codes. The following table lists the endpoint-specific HTTP response codes for this request.

HTTP response code Status/Error Description
400

TransactionMustBeClosed

The user attempted to test a LDAP server while a transaction was open (for example, there were pending configuration changes while the test was attempted).

Commit or roll back the transaction before testing the LDAP server.

400

NoSuchLDAPServer

There are no LDAP servers configured with the identifier specified in the request:

--data '{"key": "<invalid value>"}'

Make sure that you use a valid key from the list of configured LDAP servers.

This can also occur if you attempt to test an AAA LDAP server using the /ldaptest/policies endpoint or vice versa.

400

LDAPServerWithNoBindPassword

You can connect to a LDAP server using a bind DN (bind_dn) and a bind password (bind_password). These credentials are used for authentication. Normally, you need both credentials to make a successful connection, so that access to the LDAP server can be controlled. Some LDAP servers might be configured to allow so-called anonymous connections, meaning that there is no access control whatsoever and anybody can connect to that server. To test such a connection, there must be no credentials configured for that LDAP server.

  • valid: a bind_dn and a bind_password are both configured, or there is no bind_dn and no bind_password

  • invalid: there is a bind_dn, but no bind_password, or there is a bind_password, but no bind_dn

400

LDAPServerWithNoBindDn

See LDAPServerWithNoBindPassword.

 

500

LDAPConnectionFailure

Something went wrong during testing the connection. The most common reason would be an incorrect server address/port, DNS resolution failure, firewalls, or a damaged networking cable.

Make sure that the configured address/port is reachable from SPS.
