Nifi LDAPS Configuration

[#1]

Hi,

Im trying to connect LDAP from Nifi.

I've done most of the instructions in the official documentation and read most posts on the Cloudera Community. However, I couldn't connect to my company's LDAP system. 

I configured login-entity-providers and authorizers for LDAP.

When I start Nifi, it starts successfully and gives no error. 

When I try to log in with my initial admin it gives me

"Unable to validate the supplied credentials. Please contact the system administrator." error.

My questions are:

1- When we are setting up initial admin, we are not setting password of that user. How do we log in without password?

2- I'm using USE_DN for identity strategy for ldap-provider. My initial admin name and ldap user are same. So I'm trying to login with my user like: 

Username: CN=K015576,CN=Users,DC=tcmb,DC=gov,DC=tr

Password: "my_ldap_password"

What path should I follow? Is there a mistake in my configure files?

I have added my conf files below: nifi.properties, login-entity-provider and authorizers. Removed sensitive data.

Thanks a lot Matt. It worked finally after trying for 2 weeks. I was tired of trying to get this to work. I really appreciate it.

Hello Bro,

I am trying to set up LDAP and have been loosing hair on getting the right configuration for over a week now. I am trying to configure for LDAPS in NiFi and already have my keystore and trust generated internally so my issue seems quite similar to yours. Can I see the copy of your nifi.properties, login-identity-providers, authorizers.xml (without any sensitive information, of course) that finally worked? I will really appreciate any assistance for you. Thanks!

I recommend creating a new community question with the details around yoru setup and exceptions you may be seeing.  You are more likely to get better traction on a community question that does not already have and accepted solution.

Thank you,
Matt

Hello @LKB ,

Just saw your message. Since I have changed my job, I am not able to access those files anymore. Sorry for that.
