Console Authentication ​

Available authentication modes ​

There are two modes of authentication in the Developer Console:

  1. Custom
  2. LDAP

Custom Authentication ​

By default, the Developer Console uses its own authentication method and users.

Default user at cluster creation ​

The first user to be automatically created is "admin" with the password "admin".

Manage Users ​

See List of users ​

Click on the "Users" button to manage users.

Change users password ​

You can change the password of your admin user by clicking on the pencil icon.

Add a new user ​

click on the '+ Add User' to add a new user.

Fill User & Password then Submit.

Rights ​

Admin users (defined here) can create, edit, or delete users.

Any user can change its own password.

LDAP Authentication ​

Parameters ​

If you want to use an external LDAP server you can do so by adding the following parameters in the config.sh file (located in <install-path>/visualdoop2):

  • VISUALDOOP_LOGIN must be set to LDAP

Then Go to Visualdoop/ldap.properties

Define Developer Console Admin users (LDAP & Custom Authentication) ​

By default, the user named "admin" is the admin of the Developer Console.

If you are using LDAP and a user is named admin, he will be admin of the developer console. You can define the admin username by adding the following parameter to the config.sh file

bash
export VISUALDOOP_ADMIN=admin,myuser

Admins are a string of comma-separated usernames. You can add as many admins as you want.

In the example above, two users are administrators: admin and myuser.

Domain or not Domain ?

In the case of LDAP configuration, if the  "DN_PATTERN" parameter does not contain the domain (uid=%s), then each user defined as an admin user should contain its domain.
