LDAP for Chariot UI/REST Users

Chariot UI - LDAP Users and Groups/Roles

The Chariot Security Service can be configured to add an LDAP Realm to use when authenticating and authorizing access via the Chariot UI. Each LDAP Realm uses a simple bind authentication to connect to the LDAP server to search for users and groups. A user that is logging in to the Chariot UI will have their username mapped to the distinguished name (DN) of an LDAP entry using a configure template (see below).  Chariot will use simple bind authentication to authenticate the user and will search for group membership to determine the corresponding Chariot Role membership using the configured mapping.
