Setting up Ldap Authentication

Security requirements for your production environment:
  • DELETE the admin default account shipped by OM in case you had Basic Authentication enabled before configuring the authentication with Auth0 SSO.
  • UPDATE the Private / Public keys used for the JWT Tokens. The keys we provide by default are aimed only for quickstart and testing purposes. They should NEVER be used in a production installation.
OpenMetadata allows using LDAP for validating email and password authentication. Once setup successfully, the user should be able to sign in to OpenMetadata using the Ldap credentials. Below are the configuration types to set up the LDAP Authentication:

Docker

Configure LDAP Authentication for Docker deployment.

Kubernetes

Configure LDAP Authentication for Kubernetes deployment.

Bare Metal

Configure LDAP Authentication for Bare Metal deployment.

​
Configure Ingestion

Once your server security is set, it’s time to review the ingestion configuration. Our bots support JWT tokens to authenticate to the server when sending requests. Find more information on Enabling JWT Tokens and JWT Troubleshooting to ensure seamless authentication.
