SumitK.27718 (Customer) asked a question.

LDAP Agent Communication

Hello Team,

 

i was looking at the flow of user authentication and could not find any communication link b/w LDAP agent and Okta cloud.

/api/v1/authn ---- used to POST the username/password to Okta cloud service?

 

Running actionType=USER_AUTH_AND_UPDATE with actionId=ACTION_ID (goes with responseID with POST)in className=UserAuthAndUpdateActionHandler

 

GET {okta org}/api/1/internal/app/agent/ldap_sun_one/LDAP_KEY/agent/AGENT_ID/nextAction?agentVersion=5.6.5 ---- communication b/w LDAP agent to LDAP directory?

 

 POST {okta org}/api/1/internal/app/agent/ldap_sun_one/LDAP_KEY/agent/AGENT_ID/actionResult?responseId=actionId

 

above all can be seen in LDAP agent logs.

does it mean last POST is happening to Okta Cloud service?

 

can someone please simply the flow?

 

Thanks,

    Yes, I have gone through this link.

    ask here is how and at what point with what parameters communication is established b/w components.

    like i mentioned some APIs from Agent logs.

     

    1- how Okta Cloud is giving instruction to LDAP agent?

    2- based on what parameters LDAP agent communicates with LDAP?

    3- and responses from each component?

    1. There is ping thread in OKTA which continuously checks the health of your LDAP server. As soon as the LDAP agent goes down or LDAP server goes down then request is sent to OKTA.
    2. The LDAP agent communicates with LDAP server based on the configuration parameters which you specify during the configuration Viz. UID, UserDN, <LDAP search base> etc.
    3. what responses ?
