Accessing LDAP/AD/SAML Logs

All queries sent to the configured LDAP/AD server can be logged. To enable this feature:

  1. SSH into the Controller host.
  2. Execute either of the following commands, as appropriate:
    • LDAP/AD:/opt/bluedata/common-install/bd_mgmt/bin/bd_mgmt enable_management_logger authaudit
    • SAML:/opt/bluedata/common-install/bd_mgmt/bin/bd_mgmt enable_management_logger samldebug
  3. To locate LDAP/AD queries, search /var/log/bluedata/bds-mgmt.log for all instances of authaud (LDAP/AD) or samldeb (SAML).

This feature logs the following LDAP/AD activity:

  • An LDAP/AD user who does not have an existing session attempts to log in.
  • A Platform Administrator changes the LDAP/AD authentication parameters.
  • A Platform Administrator verifies the LDAP/AD authentication parameters.
  • A user is added who is being authenticated by an external LDAP/AD server.

This feature does not log the following activity because it does not require querying the LDAP/AD server:

  • An authenticated user attempts to log in.
  • A user is added who is not being authenticated by an external LDAP/AD server.
  • A user is assigned a role within a tenant or project.
