Centreon LDAP howto

So how can one easly import large number of users directly from the AD?
By using the LDAP auth option. It took me few hours to get it working, actually I still dont have it 100% working because I can not yet import it, but I can list then 🙂
Administration>Options>LDAP

Make special attention to the
User to search (anonymous if empty) shuold be:
DOMAINNAMEUSERNAME
Then now we should be able to import the users from the AD.
Configuration>Users>Contacts>LDAP Import
Copy and paste the Active Directory : (&(objectClass=user)(samaccounttype=805306368)(objectCategory=person)(cn=*))
Click on import and you should get a List of users with
the following Attributes:
“givenname”, “mail”, “uid”, “cn”, “sn”, “samaccountname”

The problem, if one of those attributes are not set the user will not be able to be imported!!!
Another problem people have commented has to do with the use of strange characters: é ç â etc..

Another good tip is to raise the log level by going to:
Administration>Option>Debuging>LDAP On
# tail -f /usr/local/centreon/log/ldapseach.log
