How to configure LDAPS Qlik Replicate

[jimmyrekso]

Hi All,

Currently our customer has migrated from LDAP to LDAPS, the old LDAP will be deactivated.

the question is: 

is there any impact with qlik replicate services?

assuming if attunity is using current LDAP,

how to setup/configure for migration from LDAP to LDAPS in qlik replicate?

Thanks,

Trio

LDAPS is a secured access and might require SSL/TLS authentication. But other than that everything else should work as before. Please test the existing setup in Replicate with LDAPS and if it doesn't work then open a Support case so that the team can check internally and provide a solution/fix.

Thank you,

Hello team,

This would be the same question as on the following thread https://community.qlik.com/t5/Qlik-Replicate/setup-LDAPS-in-attunity/td-p/1898644

As long as the Replicate machine can authenticate to the Active Directory with the service account, there shouldn't be an issue.

The same applies to the UI access defined in the documentation:

https://help.qlik.com/en-US/replicate/November2021/Content/Replicate/Main/Security/Secure_Access_to_...

Either way, we would highly suggest rolling this into the development environment before permanently shutting down any system.

Best,

Jonathan.

Dear Shashi,

thanks for the answer, the specific case is, in our customer system there is a migration from LDAP to LDAPS and we have to make sure whether this qlik replicate uses LDAP or not (impact), so the question is how do we check for existing qlik replicate using LDAP or not?
if using LDAP, how to configure to edit existing LDAP in qlik replicate?

Thanks

Hi @jimmyrekso ,

  As Jonathan explained, Replicate doesn't use LADP so even you migrate LDAP to LDAPS there will not be any impact on replicate. Replicate will use Active directory in case of windows and admin id in Linux environment (If you want to connect Replicate on Linux then you have to install UI service on a windows machine) so at any place, replicate won't use LDAP.

Thanks,

Swathi

Hi all,

i believe LDAP is one of protocol. Active directory (windows) and OpenLDAP (linux) is using LDAP protocol.

Currently the customer using AD with LDAP protocol then they will change the protocol to use LDAPS
