ManageIQ Automate Domain for reading and writing information from and to LDAP.

Table of Contents

Features

The high level features of this ManageIQ extension.

  • Create LDAP entry for a VM
  • Delete LDAP entry for a VM
  • Update LDAP entry attributes for a VM from a dialog
  • Update VM tags and custom attributes based on LDAP entry attributes
  • Dynamic dialog methods for populating fields with existing LDAP entry attribute values
  • Dynamic dialog methods for populating drop down fields with LDAP entries using specified attributes as the value and description

Dependencies

Dependencies of this ManageIQ extensions.

Other Datastores

These ManageIQ atuomate domains must also be installed for this datastore to function.

Automate

Information on the provided Automate.

Override

These are the methods intended to be overriden by implimentors of this domain for providing business logic and configuration.

Configuration

Full Path: LDAP/Integration/LDAP/Configuration/default Required to Override: Yes

get_ldap_new_entry_attributes

Full Path: LDAP/Integration/LDAP/Operations/Methods/get_ldap_new_entry_attributes Required to Override: Maybe

  • If want to create new LDAP entries
  • If not using IdM as LDAP provider

get_vm_tags_and_attributes_from_ldap_entry

Full Path: LDAP/Integration/LDAP/Operations/Methods/get_ldap_new_entry_attributes Required to Override: Maybe

  • If want to update VM tags and custom attributes form LDAP entries

munge_ldap_entry_attributes

Full Path: LDAP/Integration/LDAP/Operations/Methods/get_ldap_new_entry_attributes Required to Override: Maybe

  • If want to update LDAP entriy attributes based on user imput to dialogs.

Requests

Information on the provided Request entry points.

delete_ldap_entry

See DeleteLDAPEntry state machine.

update_ldap_entry_attributes

See UpdateLDAPEntryAttributes state machine.

update_multiple_vms_tags_and_custom_attributes_from_ldap_entries

See UpdateMultipleVMsTagsAndCustomAttributesFromLDAPEntries state machine.

update_vm_tags_and_custom_attributes_based_on_ldap_entries

See UpdateVMTagsAndCustomAttributesFromLDAPEntries state machine.

State Machines

Information on the provided State machines.

DeleteLDAPEntry

Deletes an existing LDAP entry for the given VM.

UpdateLDAPEntryAttributes

Updates the LDAP entry attributes for a given VM by munging the existing LDAP entry attributes with values from dialog fields prefixed with ldap_entry_attribute_. If an LDAP entry does not already exist for the given VM then one will be created.

UpdateMultipleVMsTagsAndCustomAttributesFromLDAPEntries

Updates the tags and custom attributes on a collection of VMs using the LDAP entry attributes for each VM.

For this to work /LDAP/Integration/LDAP/Operations/Methods/get_vm_tags_and_attributes_from_ldap_entry must be overwritten with the specifc business logic on which LDAP entry attributes should be syncronized to which VM tags and/or custom attributes.

UpdateVMTagsAndCustomAttributesFromLDAPEntries

Updates the tags and custom attributes on a VM using the LDAP entry attributes for that VM.

For this to work /LDAP/Integration/LDAP/Operations/Methods/get_vm_tags_and_attributes_from_ldap_entry must be overwritten with the specifc business logic on which LDAP entry attributes should be syncronized to which VM tags and/or custom attributes.

GetLDAPEntries

Gets the LDAP entries in a given tree that have a given value for a given LDAP attribute.

Required Attributes

  • ldap_treebase - LDAP tree to search for matching LDAP entries
  • ldap_filter_attribute - LDAP attribute attribute to search in LDAP entries for a match
  • ldap_filter_value - LDAP attribute value to search for

Collects

  • /ldap_entries - Matching LDAP entries

ValidateLDAPEMailAddresses

Validates that the given email addresses exist as attribute values on LDAP entries in the given tree.

Required Attributes

  • email_addresses - E-Mail addresses to validate
  • ldap_treebase - LDAP tree to search for matching LDAP entries
  • ldap_filter_attribute - LDAP attribute attribute to search in LDAP entries for a match

Collects

  • valid_ldap_emails - E-Mail addresses that have an associated LDAP entry
  • invalid_ldap_emails - E-Mail addresses that do not have an associated LDAP entry

Dynamic Dialogs

Information on methods provided for use with dynamic dialogs.

Method: get_ldap_entries_attributes

Gets the current LDAP entry attributes from the given LDAP entries and converts them to YAML for use by other dialog elements.

The purpose of this is to make it so other dialog elements do not need to each find the LDAP entries and can instead reference this YAML stored in a helper hidden dialog element.

See Instance: get_ldap_entries_attributes.

Method: get_ldap_entry_attribute

Gets the value for the given LDAP entry attribute.

This method depends on the get_ldap_entries_attributes method to be setting the dialog_ldap_entries_attributes field with a YAML value of all of the existing LDAP entry attributes to avoid having to query LDAP for the entries for mutliple dialog fields all relying on information from that entry.

Method: get_ldap_entries

Returns a dynamic drop down dialog with all of the given LDAP entries using the value of the given attribute names for the drop down values and descriptions.

Method: validate_ldap_attributes

Helper method if implimenters want to add in their own attribute verification before retreiving LDAP entries.

Instance: get_ldap_entries_attributes

A hidden dialog field text area should be configured with the name ldap_entries_attributes that calls the this instance so that the get_ldap_entry_attribute method can reference the output rather then having to make multiple LDAP calls.

Instance: get_ldap_entry_attribute_description

An example instance to show how to create a dynamic dialog field that is populated with the existing LDAP entry description attribute value for a given VM.

Requires that the dialog also has a hidden field that calls the get_ldap_entries_attributes instance.
