Why LDAP Gateway?

Follow the Step-by-Step Guide given below to Setup miniOrange LDAP Gateway

Pre-Requisites

• Setup JAVA (JAVA 8/ JDK 1.8)
1. For Windows Machine use : Click here to Download JAVA 8
2. For Linux Machine: Download OpenJDK 1.8.
   
   For Debian, Ubuntu, etc. use sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre
   For Fedora, Oracle Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, etc. use su -c "yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk
• Setup Environment Variables
1. JAVA_HOME: Set this to point to the JDK directory. Eg: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_221
2. CATALINA_HOME: Set this to point to the Tomcat root directory. Eg: C:\miniorangegateway-1.0.5\

Step 1: Download and Extract miniOrange Gateway

• Click here to Download the latest miniOrange LDAP Gateway Module.
• Extract the package to get the Tomcat Embedded LDAP Gateway

Step 2:(Optional) Configure Port to run miniOrange Gateway

• To run miniOrange LDAP Gateway on a port other than 8080, Navigate to <miniOrange Gateway Directory>/conf and edit server.xml
• Search for " Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" "
  
  
  
  
• Change the port from 8080 to the required port. Eg: 80

• Access the gateway from your browser using the url "<hostname:port>/miniorangegateway". Replace "<hostname>" with your hostname or server IP .

Step 3:(Optional) Setup SSL for LDAP Gateway

NOTE: This step is mandatory for Chrome Browser. Chrome will not run the Web-Application on HTTP. For all the other browsers this is optional.

• Click here to follow the steps if you have CA certificates.
• Follow the below steps if you want dont have CA certificates.
  1. Generate Keystore:
     • Navigate to the %JAVA_HOME%\bin directory in the file explorer. Create a certs directory in it.
       
       
       
       
     • Navigate to the %JAVA_HOME%\bin directory in the command line ( in Administrator mode ) and execute the command:
       keytool -genkey -alias <ALIAS> -keyalg RSA -keystore <JAVA_HOME>\bin\certs\keystore.jks
       
       
       
       This creates a keystore in the certs folder created in (a).
       
       
       
       
  
  
  2. Configure Connector:
     This is required to configure Tomcat to run on port 443(SSL Port).
     
     • Navigate to the <Tomcat Directory>\conf and edit the server.xml file.
       
       
       
       
     • Add a connector element under <Service name="Catalina"> . The following configuration needs to be placed in the connector element:
       <Connector port="8443" protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true" maxThreads="150" scheme="https"
       secure="true" clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" keystoreFile="<PATH_TO_KEYSTORE>"
       keystorePass="KEYSTORE_PASSWORD" />
       
       
       
       
  
  
  3. Assign Server Name to Tomcat:
     • Edit the %windows%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file and add the following line:
       127.0.0.1 <newhostname>
       
       
       
       
     • Navigate to the <Tomcat Directory>\conf and edit the server.xml file.
     • Search for the <Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost"> and replace localhost with the newhostname of the server.
       
       
       
       
     • Search for the <Host> element and replace name=localhost with name=<IP Address/DNS> of the server.
       
       
       
       
     • Restart Tomcat by running startup.bat under <Tomcat Directory>\bin. Navigate to the following address:
       https://<newhostname:port>/miniorangegateway.

Step 4: Starting miniOrange Gateway

• Navigate to <miniOrange Gateway Directory>/bin and start the server using the following commands in the terminal:
  1. For Windows Machine use : catalina.bat start
  2. For Linux Machine: sh catalina.sh start

• Access the gateway from your browser using the url "<hostname:port>/miniorangegateway". Replace "<hostname>" with your hostname or server IP .
  Eg:localhost:8080/miniorangegateway.
  
  NOTE: If you have configured another port in Step-2, you can use that custom port instead of 8080. Eg. If you configured Tomcat to run on 8081 then the url will be Eg:localhost:8081/miniorangegateway.

  
  

Step 5: Log into miniOrange Gateway

• On accessing the Gateway Application in your browser. You will be redirected to admin login page.




• Enter the login credentials of your miniOrange Cloud Admin Account. [The one you use to login at login.xecurify.com].
• After successful login you should be redirected to View LDAP Configurations page.

Step 6: Connecting LDAP Gateway to Directory

• Click on the LDAP Connection tab.
• This should show to list of LDAP Configurations.
• You could either Click on Edit or on the Add LDAP Configuration to start configuring your LDAP information.




• Configure the miniOrange Gateway by adding the following LDAP Configuration details.
  
  
  
  

Field	Description.
Configuration Identifier	Any name that will specify this set of configuration.
LDAP Server URL	Specify the host name for the LDAP server Eg: ldap://myldapserver.domain:389
Bind Account DN	This will be used to establish the connection with LDAP Server. Specify it in the following ways: Username@domainname or Distinguished Name(DN) format
Bind Account Password:	Password for the Bind Account in the LDAP Server
Search Bases:	Provide distinguished name of the Search Base object Eg:cn=User,dc=domain,dc=com
Search Filter:	Search filters enable you to define search criteria and provide more efficient and effective searches. Eg: "(&(objectClass=*)(cn=?))"
Domain Name:	Semi-colon separated list of domain. Eg: miniorange.com
First Name Attribute:	LDAP attribute for the First Name. Eg: givenName

• Click the Save button.
• To test the current LDAP connection, you will have to go back

Step 7:Connecting miniOrange Cloud to Gateway.

• Login to miniOrange dashboard from the Admin Console.
• From the left side menu, click on User Stores >> Add User Store.



• Select User Store type as AD/LDAP.
• Select the STORE LDAP CONFIGURATION ON PREMISE option.
• Enable the I have downloaded, installed and configured the miniOrange gateway checkbox.
• Enter LDAP Display Name and LDAP Identifier name.
• Select Directory Type as Active Directory.

  Eg:localhost:8080/miniorangegateway.
• Enable Activate LDAP checkbox



• Click on Save
• For further information on how to configure directory in the miniOrange Cloud, you can click here.

Step 8:Test Connection from Cloud to AD.

• Login to miniOrange dashboard from the Admin Console.
• From the left side menu, click on User Stores.
• List of all the configured User-Stores will be visible. Click on the Select link of the configuration that we setup in step 7
• Select Test-Connection from the drop down



• A pop-up will appear. Enter valid username and password and click on Test.





• On Successful connection with LDAP Server, a success message is shown.

Step 9:Setting up One-Time/Scheduled Sync between Directory and miniOrange

NOTE: This step is optional. Follow the below steps if you want to setup user sync between your Directory and the miniOrange Cloud service via LDAP Gateway. We support both, scheduled sync as well as One Time Sync. If you want to start the sync immediately or want to use One-Time Sync then configure the time which has already passed in the Start Time(hh:mm) field.

Eg. If the server time is 13:00 then anytime before 13:00 should initiate immediate sync.

• Click On Schedules from the left Pane.
• Configure the following details:

Field	Description.
Enable Schedules	Enable/Disable the Scheduler.
Send Groups in Sync	Enable/Disable sending user groups during sync
Start Time(hh:mm)	Start time for the schedule sync Eg: 01 in hours and 01 in minutes.
Sync Interval (in hrs)	Time Interval between periodic sync.






• Enable the Enable Schedules checkbox and Click on Save
• The users from various LDAP configurations will be synced based on whether "Enable Configuration for Sync" is enabled
  

Step 10:(Optional) Setup LDAPS connection with your directory.

NOTE: This step is optional. Follow the below setup if you want to connect to your Directory using LDAP over SSL.

• To configure LDAP Gateway to connect to your Directory over an Secure LDAP. You will be required to import your LDAPS certificate in your JAVA TrustManager.
• Run the following command to install the certificate in cacerts.
• For Windows:
  
keytool -importcert -alias "mOrangeLDAPS"
-keystore "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_231\lib\security\cacerts"
-file "C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\mOrangeLDAPS.cer"


• For Linux:
keytool -importcert -alias "mOrangeLDAPS"
-keystore "/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_144/jre/lib/security/cacerts"
-file "/home/mOrangeLDAPS.cer"


• Restart your web server.
