LDAP authentication with MCS

Setup

Run openLDAP with docker.

$ docker run --rm -p 389:389 -p 636:636 --name my-openldap-container --detach osixia/openldap:1.3.0

Run the billy.ldif file using ldapadd command to create a new user and assign it to a group.

$ cat > billy.ldif << EOF

$ docker cp billy.ldif my-openldap-container:/container/service/slapd/assets/test/billy.ldif
$ docker exec my-openldap-container ldapadd -x -D "cn=admin,dc=example,dc=org" -w admin -f /container/service/slapd/assets/test/billy.ldif -H ldap://localhost -ZZ

Query the ldap server to check the user billy was created correctly and got assigned to the mcsAdmin group, you should get a list containing ldap users and groups.

$ docker exec my-openldap-container ldapsearch -x -H ldap://localhost -b dc=example,dc=org -D "cn=admin,dc=example,dc=org" -w admin

Query the ldap server again, this time filtering only for the user billy, you should see only 1 record.

$ docker exec my-openldap-container ldapsearch -x -H ldap://localhost -b uid=billy,dc=example,dc=org -D "cn=admin,dc=example,dc=org" -w admin

Change the password for user billy

Set the new password for billy to minio123 and enter admin as the default LDAP Password

$ docker exec -it my-openldap-container /bin/bash
# ldappasswd -H ldap://localhost -x -D "cn=admin,dc=example,dc=org" -W -S "uid=billy,dc=example,dc=org"
New password:
Re-enter new password:

Add the mcsAdmin policy to user billy on MinIO

$ cat > mcsAdmin.json << EOF
