Configuring Data Fabric Communications with Your SSO Server

Describes how to configure the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric to work with an SSO server.

To enable your SSO provider to communicate with the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric, release 7.4.0 or later must be installed, and you must configure SSO information by running the maprcli cluster setssoconf command.

Note these considerations:
  • Only the cluster admin or a user with the fabric manager role can run the maprcli cluster setssoconf command.
  • For a customer-managed data fabric, you must run the command only on the primary CLDB node. SSO information is propagated automatically to other CLDB nodes in the cluster.
  • For a consumption-based data fabric, you must run the command only on the primary CLDB node of the primary data fabric. SSO information is propagated automatically to other CLDB nodes and other fabrics in the global namespace.
To configure SSO:
  1. Identify the primary CLDB node by using one of the following methods:
    • On any node in the cluster, run the following maprcli command:
      maprcli clustergroup getcgtable -showprimary true -json
    • Log in to the Control System and go to the service information page for CLDB. The primary CLDB is the CLDB with a CLDB Mode equivalent to MASTER_READ_WRITE. For more information, see Viewing CLDB Information.
  2. Log on to the primary CLDB node as the cluster admin (typically the mapr user).
  3. Run the cluster setssoconf command, and specify the following options:
    • -issuerendpoint
    • -providername
    • -clientid
    • -clientsecret
    • -certfile
    • -json (optional)
    For example:
    maprcli cluster setssoconf -issuerendpoint https://<IP_address>/realms/TestReallm/ 
-providername keycloak -clientid testclient -clientsecret <secret>
-certfile /opt/mapr/keycloak/conf/<hostname>.crt -json
