Optimization of Adding a 3rd-Party Authentication Server in Enterprise Management
Starting from ZStack Cloud 4.6.0, Enterprise Management has reorganized and optimized the process of adding different types of 3rd-party authentication servers to improve user experience.
In earlier versions, when adding AD/LDAP/OIDC/OAuth2/CAS servers, if you have complete the configuration of the server, the Cloud may add the server in advance even if the mapping rules are not synchronized. At this point, the authentication server is unavailable for use.Figure 1. LDAP Server Unavailable Upon Only Server Configurations Completed-Version Earlier Than 4.6.0
ZStack Cloud 4.6.0 has made the following optimization on the process of adding different types of 3rd-party authentication servers:
AD/LDAP:
When the configuration is completed and the connection test succeeds, the 3rd-party authentication server will be added to the Cloud in advance. If you have not configured the mapping rules, then you are not allowed to synchronize the rules. ZStack Cloud will prompt an alert that you need to configure mapping rules before you can use the authentication server.
OIDC/OAuth2/CAS:
You need to complete the whole configuration process to successfully add a authentication server. You can directly use the authentication server after addition.
