Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Waldirio M Pinheiro 2016-05-25 02:17:19 UTC
Description of problem:
On the next version of Satellite Server (6.2) will be available in the LDAP Authentication feature one button in the new connection, named (Test Connection), this button check the connectivity between Satellite Server and AD server, but I believe only via 389 port. My suggest is add a button named "verify" in the Account tab, just to check if the username and password are correct and connecting in the AD server. We have a similar button in another product, like Cloudforms for example.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.2

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure the LDAP Authentication
2. Add a new LDAP Source
3. Is not possible test the authentication.

Actual results:
We don't know if the username and password are valid.

Expected results:
Test the authentication with the actual username and password.

Additional info:
Actually, what I do and recommend to test the connection, is the command below

// How to test account and password via CLI
# yum install openldap-clients
# ldapsearch -x -b "CN=Users,DC=adtest,DC=net" -h <ip address> -D "ADTEST\sataccount" -w <password>
Or
#ldapsearch -x -b "CN=Users,DC=adtest,DC=net" -h <ip address> -D "sataccount" -w <password>
Or
#ldapsearch -x -b "CN=Users,DC=adtest,DC=net" -h <ip address> -D "sataccount@adtest" -w <password>

In the sample above, we need define a BaseDN, Server, Service Account and Password.

Sounds like a reasonable request, cloning to Redmine.
