5. Configuring Local Authentication as a Fallback

You can use local authentication as a fallback in the event that the LDAP server is unreachable. The local authentication plugin is called userManager.

  1. Go to http://yourzenoss:8080/zport/acl_users/manage to access the ZMI.

  2. Click on plugins from the list.

  3. Click on the Authentication Plugins link.

  4. Make sure your LDAP plugin is the first in the list on the right and that userManager is below it.

  5. Users who require local fallback authentication must have local passwords setup. This can be done from the normal user preferences in the Zenoss interface.
