Describe the issue:
My cluster’s LDAP Authentication is not working, is there anything can be done? Any idea is appreciated, thanks. (I want to only implement LDAP Authentication, not the Authorization). I apply the changes by running securityadmin.sh and the change in configs can be seen in the Security section of my dashboard. I can ldapsearch via commandline also:

ldapsearch -H ldaps://myldapserver.mycompany.sth.st:1636 -D “uid=MYUID,ou=SomeUsers,dc=asd,dc=qwe” -w “*******” -b “dc=asd,dc=qwe” “(uid=MYUSERID)”

return of ldapsearch is successful

Configuration:

      ldap:
        description: "Authenticate via LDAP or Active Directory"
        http_enabled: false
        transport_enabled: false
        order: 5
        http_authenticator:
          type: basic
          challenge: false
        authentication_backend:
          type: ldap
          config:
            enable_ssl: true
            enable_start_tls: false
            enable_ssl_client_auth: false
            verify_hostnames: true
            hosts:
            - ldaps://myldapserver.mycompany.sth.st:1636
            bind_dn: uid=MYUID,ou=SomeUsers,dc=asd,dc=qwe
            password: *******
            userbase: 'dc=asd,dc=qwe'
            usersearch: '(&(uid={0})(status=1)(objectClass=person))'
            username_attribute: uid

I also applied this change in “config.yml” to all the nodes in the cluster and restarted all.

Hi @bugravibes,

It seems to be disabled at the moment.

Could you share the output of the following:

curl --insecure -u <admin_username>:<admin_password> -XGET https://<OS_node>:9200/_plugins/_security/api/securityconfig?pretty

Best,
mj
