CPBM / CS / CAS and Authentication
CPBM uses a different mechanism to SSO to Cloudstack. You only need to setup LDAP for CPBM.

CPBM / CS / CAS and Authentication
Hey all,
maybe someone can help me to better understand how authentication works.
CPBM gives me the option to use LDAP and CAS to give the user the option to sign on with the AD Credentials.
CS gives me the Option to configure LDAP Authentication over the API Call ldap.config.
So what i have to configure that a User is able to sign on to CPBM with his AD Credentials and then make a singlesignon to the Cloudstack Dashboard?
From my side, i think i have to setup LDAP on booth, CS and CPBM and activate CAS because the cas service forwards the crendentials to cloudstack when a user launch the Cloud Console.
Is there a way to synchronzie the AD / CPBM user objects? I run a Script for CLoudstack which synchronizes the AD user to CS but whats with CPBM?
Whats about the roles in CPBM and CS, how thy match?
Thanks for your help

Hey Wan,
thats interesting. But for what is then the cas service? For what SSO its used?

cas is for SSO to other 3rd party systems. CPBM has tight integration with Cloudstack and does not depend on cas, it basically uses the cloudstack login api to sign user in automatically.

Hey Wan,
many thanks for clarification.
For example, i can cusotmize CPBM with a link to a tenant based third party monitoring Software and then i can use cas for SSO... Cool
Thanks!
