Snipe-IT and Okta #10096
-
|
I have previously used Snipe-IT 'on premise' with a local LDAP server called FreeIPA and had it connected successfully. This time around I am using a hosted version of Snipe-IT and need to connect it via LDAP to Okta. I have successfully configured SAML authentication between Okta and Snipe-IT and I can in Snipe-IT use the test authentication button to successfully test authenticating individual users including the LDAP binding account itself. However I currently cannot get LDAP sync to work from Snipe-IT to Okta. Snipe-IT do provide documentation on how to connect to Okta for SAML but do not provide equivalent Okta specific details on the LDAP side - only generic LDAP advice. Unfortunately Okta's LDAP implementation is likely to be different enough this may be the cause of my problem. Has anyone here previously successfully configured Snipe-IT to sync via LDAP to Okta? Can you therefore advise on appropriate settings? Also on a related topic, this time around since I am using a hosted copy of Snipe-IT I cannot myself setup a cron job to automate LDAP syncing, does anyone know if they are able to do it for me? |

Ok managed to fix this LDAP Sync issue, I needed to use ldap:// and not ldaps:// For the benefit of others, despite the fact LDAPSEARCH shows the employee number as employeeNumber for this to work with Snipe-IT you must set it in Snipe-IT as employeenumber Now just need to get Snipe-IT to setup a cron job. |
