Overview

This page describes the process to configure a connection to the DS using basic authentication.

It assumes that a user is already created and has the proper rights.

Setting User Password

Make sure the user has a password:

$ ldapmodify -x -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w Secret.123 << EOF
dn: uid=pkidbuser,ou=people,dc=ca,dc=pki,dc=example,dc=com
changetype: modify
replace: userPassword
userPassword: Secret.123
EOF

Configuring Basic Authentication in PKI Server

Store the user password in /var/lib/pki/pki-tomcat/conf/password.conf:

internaldb=Secret.123

Configure the internal database connection in /var/lib/pki/pki-tomcat/<subsystem>/conf/CS.cfg:

internaldb.ldapauth.authtype=BasicAuth
internaldb.ldapauth.bindDN=uid=pkidbuser,ou=people,dc=ca,dc=pki,dc=example,dc=com
internaldb.ldapauth.bindPWPrompt=internaldb

Restart PKI server:

$ systemctl restart [email protected]
