LDAP / LDAPS Authentication with Observium
by Valerie Lim 13 May '22

13 May '22

Hi Graeme As I am very new to LDAPS, can you provide every step you’ve did in setting up LDAPS in both your LDAP server & observium host when you verify everything tomorrow? It would be very helpful learning experience for my team and I. 😊 [cid:image003.png@01D865EE.C07BA4A0] Best Regards Valerie Lim

LDAP / LDAPS Authentication with Observium
by Valerie Lim 12 May '22

Hi I am having issue authenticating the members in my group as the error message says that it is unable to get a match of a user in a particular group. Here are some steps I've taken so far: * Changing to $config['auth_ldap_server'] = "server01.domain01.com"; caused an error that LDAP server was unable to bind thus that is why I am using IP address * All my users are already a member of the group that I've specified & the group is also in an OU I've specified in my config.php So, why is Observium unable to get a match of the users even though the specifications are already there? Please advise. Attached is my config.php configuration: // Authentication Model $config['auth_mechanism'] = "ldap"; // default, other options: ldap, http-auth, please se> $config['auth_ldap_binddn'] = "cn=Administrator,cn=Users,dc=domain01,dc=com"; $config['auth_ldap_bindpw'] = "xxxxxxxx"; $config['auth_ldap_attr']['uid'] = "sAMAccountName"; $config['auth_ldap_attr']['uidNumber'] = "objectSid"; $config['auth_ldap_attr']['cn'] = "name"; $config['auth_ldap_attr']['dn'] = "distinguishedName"; $config['auth_ldap_objectclass'] = "person"; $config['auth_ldap_version'] = 3; $config['auth_ldap_server'] = "ldap://192.168.1.234"; $config['auth_ldap_port'] = 389; $config['auth_ldap_starttls'] = TRUE; $config['auth_ldap_bindanonymous'] = FALSE; $config['auth_ldap_prefix'] = "CN="; $config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",OU=MVC,DC=domain01,DC=com"; $config['auth_ldap_group'] = array("CN=gtgroup,OU=MVC,DC=domain01,DC=com"); $config['auth_ldap_groupbase'] = "CN=gtgroup,OU=MVC,DC=domain01,DC=com"; $config['auth_ldap_groupmembertype'] = "nodn"; $config['auth_ldap_groupmemberattr'] = "member"; unset($config['auth_ldap_groups']); $config['auth_ldap_groups']['CN=gtgroup,OU=MVC,DC=domain01,DC=com']['level'] = 10; $config['web_debug_unprivileged'] = TRUE; Error message I got when logging in: [cid:image002.jpg@01D865E9.D1ADC000] My group & OU settings: [cid:image005.jpg@01D865E9.D1ADC000] Best Regards Valerie Lim

Project still active?
by Denton, Gregory 12 May '22

12 May '22

Hi Team, First off, thank you for the detailed support of some of the lesser common devices. Next, can you confirm the project is still active in any way? I'm currently in the market for a solution with enterprise level support (internal policy), so before I go to the well for funding, I need to know that Observium is still viable and active for that level of support? </greg>

Display warning on map
by Arnoldo Vidal Bravo 12 May '22

12 May '22

hello, today we have had several incidents in our network. It strikes me that some devices do not show the red triangle on the map. Where could I find and fix this problem? ps: the alert boxes have been customized to show hostname and IP, it works fine for us. [image: image.png] -- Saluda cordialmente

LDAP / LDAPS Authentication with Observium
by Valerie Lim 12 May '22

12 May '22

Hi Graeme Thanks! Also just want to check with you: 1. Other than getting LDAP to work, did you manage to get LDAPS to work as well? If so, could you provide the every step on how your team did it? 2. What OS & version is both your host Observium & LDAP server running on? 3. For LDAP, other than setting up Observium in the host & LDAP service in the server itself, were there any additional packages / steps you did to make it work?

LDAP / LDAPS Authentication with Observium

Hi I've configured my config.php based on recommended advice. However, when I try logging in, it only refreshes the page and shows me the following logs: [cid:image001.jpg@01D86528.E1F50CA0] I'm running my Observium on Ubuntu Desktop 20.04 and my LDAP server on Windows Server 2019. Here is my config.php configuration: // Authentication Model $config['auth_mechanism'] = "ldap"; // default, other options: ldap, http-auth, please se> $config['auth_ldap_binddn'] = "cn=Administrator,cn=Users,dc=domain01,dc=com"; $config['auth_ldap_bindpw'] = "XXXXXXXX"; $config['auth_ldap_attr']['uid'] = "sAMAccountName"; $config['auth_ldap_attr']['uidNumber'] = "objectSid"; $config['auth_ldap_attr']['cn'] = "name"; $config['auth_ldap_attr']['dn'] = "distinguishedName"; $config['auth_ldap_objectclass'] = "person"; $config['auth_ldap_version'] = 3; $config['auth_ldap_server'] = "ldap://192.168.1.234"; $config['auth_ldap_port'] = 389; $config['auth_ldap_starttls'] = TRUE; $config['auth_ldap_bindanonymous'] = FALSE; $config['auth_ldap_prefix'] = "CN="; $config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",OU=ACCLIVIS,DC=domain01,DC=com"; $config['auth_ldap_group'] = array("CN=grouping,OU=ACCLIVIS,DC=domain01,DC=com"); $config['auth_ldap_groupbase'] = "CN=grouping,OU=ACCLIVIS,DC=domain01,DC=com"; $config['auth_ldap_groupmembertype'] = "nodn"; $config['auth_ldap_groupmemberattr'] = "member"; unset($config['auth_ldap_groups']); $config['auth_ldap_groups']['CN=grouping,OU=ACCLIVIS,DC=domain01,DC=com']['level'] = 10; $config['web_debug_unprivileged'] = TRUE; I am able to run a successful LDAP query from my host to my LDAP server. Thus, please advice on what else I can be missing. I'm reverting back from LDAPS to LDAP as I would like to fix the basic LDAP connection first before moving to a secured LDAP.

Hello, Can we configure a secondary IP address for the observium server and use this to add devices? the primary IP will be routed on the primary link based on tunneling technology and the secondary IP will be routed on the backup MPLS link. Thank you and Regards, Toky, -- <https://app.livestorm.co/comdata-group/services-financiers-comment-optimise…>

need for a new support system, email lists are too limiting
by Tony Guadagno 06 May '22

06 May '22

Hi, as the recent 2 questions have shown (ldaps auth and ping only device monitoring) users have the same questions over and over. Currently, this system Observium uses for email lists (imho) is not cutting it. There is no place (that I now of) that we can search for old solutions, the emails don't seem to be archived anywhere. Have you considered switching off this to a discussion board software? I think it would be better for all. Just my 2 cents. tony

LDAPS Authentication with Observium
by Valerie Lim 05 May '22

05 May '22

Hi I need advice on how to authenticate my LDAP server (Windows Server 2019) with my Observium client (v22.4.11952) which runs on Ubuntu v20.04 Desktop. 1. I've configured LDAPs certificate in my LDAP server as an .pfx file. How do I allow Observium to read the certificate so as to get authenticated by my LDAP server? 1. I've configured LDAP settings in my Observium's config.php file accordingly as advised & installed php module. However, Observium is still unable to authenticate via LDAP. LDAP query between Observium client (Ubuntu) and LDAP server (Windows) is working. So please advice on what additional steps is required on setting up LDAP on regards to both client & server side. 1. Attached is my config.php configuration. // Authentication Model $config['auth_mechanism'] = "ldap"; // default, other options: ldap, http-auth, please s> $config['auth_ldap_binddn'] = "cn=Administrator,ou=acclivis,dc=domain01,dc=com"; $config['auth_ldap_bindpw'] = "xxxxxxxxxx"; $config['auth_ldap_attr']['uid'] = "sAMAccountName"; $config['auth_ldap_attr']['uidNumber'] = "objectSid"; $config['auth_ldap_attr']['cn'] = "name"; $config['auth_ldap_attr']['dn'] = "distinguishedName"; $config['auth_ldap_objectclass'] = "user"; $config['auth_ldap_version'] = 3; $config['auth_ldap_server'] = "server01.domain01.com"; $config['auth_ldap_port'] = 636; $config['auth_ldap_starttls'] = TRUE; $config['auth_ldap_prefix'] = "cn="; $config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",ou=acclivis,DC=domain01,DC=com"; $config['auth_ldap_group'] = array("cn=grouping,ou=acclivis,DC=domain01,DC=com"); $config['auth_ldap_groupbase'] = "cn=grouping,ou=acclivis,DC=domain01,DC=com"; $config['auth_ldap_groupmembertype'] = "nondn"; $config['auth_ldap_groupmemberattr'] = "member"; unset($config['auth_ldap_groups']); $config['auth_ldap_groups']['cn=grouping,ou=acclivis,DC=domain01,DC=com']['level'] = 10; Best Regards Valerie Lim
