These mistakes were copied from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=953861 because they occure in Administration and Configuration Guide too. 1) 10.7.4. Use LDAP to Authenticate to the Management Interfaces Table 10.1 - there shouldn't be attribute name (i.e. name is not an attribute in the model) - there is missing attribute "security-realm" - The security realm to reference to obtain a configured SSLContext to use when establishing the connection. 2) There is described rather the XML schema than the model in "Create an LDAP-Enabled Security Realm" section. We should avoid this, editing XML directly is AFAIK not the supported administration way. The model attributes should be described instead: "connection" => "The name of the connection to use to connect to LDAP.", "advanced-filter" => "The fully defined filter to be used to search for the user based on their entered user ID. The filter should contain a variable in the form {0} - this will be replaced with the username supplied by the user.", "base-dn" => "The base distinguished name to commence the search for the user.", "user-dn" => "The name of the attribute which is the user's distinguished name.", "recursive" => "Whether the search should be recursive.", default is false "username-attribute" => "The name of the attribute to search for the user. This filter will then perform a simple search where the username entered by the user matches the attribute specified here.", "allow-empty-passwords" => "Should empty passwords be accepted from the user being authenticated.", default is false 3) Example 10.10. Add an LDAP Security Realm The example doesn't add security realm - there is missing first line in the sample: /host=master/core-service=management/security-realm=ldap_security_realm:add 4) Example 10.11 should use the realm name used before (in 10.10) - i.e. "ldap_security_realm"
