Trying to get LDAP working

JupyterHub
1

When I provide user/pass and submit the app hangs and must be killed and restarted. here is my redacted config!

Authenticator
.allow_all = True
.tls_strategy = ‘on_connect’
JupyterHub
.authenticator_class = ‘ldapauthenticator.LDAPAuthenticator’
LDAPAuthenticator
.bind_dn_template = ['uid={username},ou=people,dc=XXX,dc=XXX,dc=XXX’]
.lookup_dn = False
.server_address = ‘XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX’
.server_port = 636
.tls_kwargs = {‘ca_certs_file’: ‘/etc/ssl/certs’}
.user_attribute = ‘uid’
.user_search_base = 'ou=people,dc=XXX,dc=XXX,dc=XXX’

Have you seen any logs from jupyterhub?

3

In debug I see Attempting to bind XXXXXXX with …

4

With nothing else to go on, i guess its a networking issue where the hub doesn’t get a response

5

i can use ldapsearch with same server and it works. I have admin monday to work thru this. Our network is VARY secure.

6

Do you have any HTTP Proxy on the server JupyterHub running? If so, did you configure proxy settings for the JupyterHub service?

we found that we needed to add c.Authenticator.use_ssl = True when using port 636. The documentation is a little vague on TSL setup.
