What is ldap-passwd-webui?
A simple tool, written entirely in Python.
The original tool can be found at https://github.com/jirutka/ldap-passwd-webui
It allows the end user to change their password via a web interface.
To allow integration with Bright Cluster Manager, ldap-passwd-webui was modified. The modified tool is at:
http://support2.brightcomputing.com/ldap-passwd-webui/ldap-passwd-webui-master.zip
Requirements:
The tool runs on Python 3, and was tested with Python 3.6.7
A requirements.txt file is found in the project. The contents mention the following version requirements:bottle >= 0.12.8ldap3 >= 2.0, < 3.0configparser; python_version < '3.3'
Installation steps, into linux
- Download from http://support2.brightcomputing.com/ldap-passwd-webui/ldap-passwd-webui-master.zip
- unzip ldap-passwd-webui-master.zip
- cd ldap-passwd-webui
- pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Configuration
To make ldap-passwd-webui work with Bright cluster, the following cert and key files need to be copied over from the head node into the project’s home directory:/cm/local/apps/openldap/etc/certs/ca.pem/cm/local/apps/openldap/etc/certs/ldap.pem/cm/local/apps/openldap/etc/certs/ldap.key
The settings.ini.example file should then be copied over to settings.ini
An example of a settings.ini file that works with the default configuration of the cluster is:
[html] page_title = Change your password [ldap] host = ldapserver port = 636 use_ssl = True base = ou=Group,dc=cm,dc=cluster search_filter = cn={uid} # Uncomment if your ldap server requires client to present those files [tls] key_file = ldap.key cert_file = ldap.pem ca_file = ca.pem # Uncomment for AD / Samba 4 #type = ad #ad_domain = ad.example.org #search_filter = sAMAccountName={uid} [server] server = auto host = localhost port = 8080
When done, the tool can be run.
Running
ldap-passwd-webui can run as a standalone web server:
python3 app.py
The URL to reach the GUI is:
http://localhost:8080
The README.adoc file that is included with the tool has further details about web server integration.
