caching_ldap

caching_ldap is an REST authorization API for Salt's External Authentication System (eauth) using the eauth rest.

You send in a username, password doesn't matter since we just authorize not authenticate, and caching_ldap give back an eauth ACL for that user which is expanded from cached LDAP groups refreshed on an interval.

Usage

1. Configure your external_auth for your salt-master and salt-api:

   eauth_acl_module: rest
   external_auth:
     rest:
       ^url: http://localhost:8080/v1/login
       'admins%':
         - '.*'
       'users%':
         - 'test.ping'
         - 'state.highstate'

2. Deploy this Flask-app on your salt master.

   $ cd salt-eauth-rest-caching-ldap
   $ python3 -mvenv .
   $ source bin/activate
   $ pip3 install .
   

3. Serve wsgi.py with an WGSI server.
