Go to SolutionJumpCloud LDAP on iDrac 8
Hi all,
Having some trouble getting iDrac 8 to connect/authenticate to JumpCloud LDAP. The only guidance I could find is a little dated (https://wiki.maxcorp.org/ldap-configuration-idrac-6/)
Im unable to get this working on iDrac 8 (Dell R330) - configuration is as follows:
Generic LDAP Enabled: Yes
Use Distinguished Name to Search Group Membership: Yes
LDAP Server Address: ldap.jumpcloud.com
LDAP Server Port: 636
Bind DN: uid=LDAP_BINDING_USER,ou=Users,o=MY_ORG_ID,dc=jumpcloud,dc=com
Bind Password: LDAP_BINDING_USER_PASSWORD
Base DN to Search: ou=Users,o=MY_ORG_ID,dc=jumpcloud,dc=com
Attribute of User Login: uid
Ive also defined the group
|
cn=Sys_Admin,ou=Users,o=MY_ORG_ID,dc=jumpcloud,dc=com
|
When I test the connection I get:
15:35:01 Initiating Directory Services Settings Diagnostics:
15:35:01 trying LDAP server ldap.jumpcloud.com:636
15:35:01 Server Address ldap.jumpcloud.com resolved to 35.76.69.244
15:35:11 ERROR: ping 35.76.69.244 failed
15:35:11 Server Address ldap.jumpcloud.com resolved to 35.77.137.58
15:35:22 ERROR: ping 35.77.137.58 failed
15:35:22 ERROR: Server failed configuration or connection test
Any advice/suggestions appreciated.
Thanks for this, it matches exactly what I've configured to date. I've now got it working and realised the issue is this configuration works fine but for whatever reason it fails when you try the LDAP test in iDrac.
Thanks for your assistance with this.
Regards
Andy

Hello,
I know this post has been closed for a while but I am struggling to configure JumpCloud LDAP on iDRAC 8 as well. @4LAWN, it would be so helpful if could provide your working configuration.
I don’t want to use the certificate validation so I am leaving that unchecked. At this point I am getting 2 LDAP MFA prompts on my JumpCloud Protect app but after I accept them both, it says I have failed to login.
I have tried using the non MFA host name and it does not allow me to log in either.Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as it feels like I have tried everything I can think of to get this working but have not had any success thus far.

Hi, I can't tell JumpCloud is our scope. I've checked in our docs to find a whitepaper for that. But I'll try to help with it. from here Use Cloud LDAP - JumpCloud I understanding: If you experience connection errors, ensure that your firewall isn’t configured to block traffic to port 636
The LDAP binding user is created to allow the application to gain access to the LDAP directory in order to facilitate authentication requests when a regular LDAP user is attempting to log in. Make sure the user designated as the Bind DN is correctly bound to the JumpCloud LDAP directory
JumpCloud’s LDAP-as-a-Service allows users to connect using StartTLS (ldap:// https://dell.to/3OHpxxc :389) or TLS / SSL (ldaps:// https://dell.to/3OHpxxc :636). Many client applications/appliances require you to upload a Peer Certificate Authority when connecting to TLS / SSL. You might want to check if this is required for iDrac 8 and if so, ensure the correct certificates are in place
please take a look Configuring generic LDAP directory service using iDRAC web-based interface iDRAC 8/7 v2.40.40.40 User’s Guide | Dell US
Access iDRAC Web Interface:
Configure Generic LDAP:
https://dell.to/3OHpxxc636(for secure LDAPS)uid=LDAP_BINDING_USER,ou=Users,o=YOUR_ORG_ID,dc=jumpcloud,dc=comou=Users,o=YOUR_ORG_ID,dc=jumpcloud,dc=comuidHope that helps!
