LDAP for Chef Server without Management Console UI


Has anyone had success setting up LDAP users on chef server without the management console UI? I followed the setup here as if we had the management console https://docs.chef.io/server_ldap.html .

There does not seem to be any documentation for knife create user with an ldap setting(like is passed from the UI). Is there a way to setup ldap users without the management console ui?


Solution

  • This isn't really a thing. LDAP is only useful for password-based logins, and password-based logins are only used by the web UI. So you can configure it, but it won't really do anything.
