Good morning all and TGIMFF!!! 🙂
Hopefully this is a quick question. I was wondering if anyone out there knew if Rocky 9 was supported as an OS that the Okta LDAP agent can be deployed to? We were able to get it to work last year by tricking the service startup to recognize 'Rocky' as a valid operating system. However we don't want to have to do that again, as we want to deploy to a supported operating system:
- cat /opt/Okta/OktaLDAPAgent/scripts/linux_defs.sh
added 'rocky' to this bit of code to get the service started
if egrep -qi "ubuntu|debian" /etc/issue ; then
debian
elif egrep -qi "centos|rhel|redhat|rocky" /etc/issue ; then
redhat
elif egrep -qi "red|rhel|centos|rocky" /etc/redhat-release ; then
redhat
else
quit "\nERROR: This OS is not supported. Contact OKTA for more information.\n" 1
fi
Also, with the above trickery (lol) the agent never shows running, but it is actually running. Anyone else experience this?
Thank you in advance and I hope to hear back from someone soon!
Cheers--
Jason
Hi @JasonJ.35648 (Customer) , Thank you for reaching out to the Okta Community!
Rocky 9 is not explicitly mentioned in our docs so I do not expect it to be supported.
That being said, I noticed that you've already opened a Support ticket for this so I recommend waiting for the official answer from my Support Team colleagues.
They might be able to pull in additional resources to confirm this.
I did find an older post mentioning that Rocky Linux is not supported, but I'm not sure this is still valid.
If my answer helped, remember to mark it as best to increase its visibility for other members of the Okta Community who might have the same questions as you.
Hope my answer helps!
