How to Integrate AD Authentication in Graylog?

Its always been boring to create User manually in every application. So we can integrate
those application with the central authentication server. So all these manual work can be
avoided. In this blog i'll tell you how to integrate Graylog with AD.

if your version is less than graylog 2 then go to System -> Users -> Configure LDAP
if it is graylog >=2 then goto System -> Authentication -> LDAP/Active Directory.

Check in Enable LDAP Box.
Server configuration :

Server Type:   Active Directory
LDAP Server Address : AD server IP  port: 389
System Username : The username for the initial connection to the Active Directory server .

 

For Example
CN=AD-test,OU=Users,OU=IT,OU=example,DC=local
System Password : Password For AD-test user
Test the server connection, so that you can be sure that you can connect to the AD Server.

In the User Mapping Section put in the:

Search Base DN : OU=Users,OU=IT,OU=example,DC=local
User Search Pattern : (&(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName={0}))
Display Name attribute : displayName

Now You need to test.

Login Test:
you can give your AD user Name and password, then click on Test login. If it is sucessfull then Click aon Save LDAP Settings.
