before trying to roll out Open OnDemand on our cluster I wanted to test it in a VM for which I followed the official 2.0 documentation.
Now after installing I have trouble accessing the Dashboard as I always get:
Error 500 The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Now this is what the errorlog in /var/log/httpd24/error.log gave me but I am unsure how to change the RedirectURl.
`[Tue Oct 25 11:44:08.074666 2022] [auth_openidc:error] [pid 1470] [client 172.24.0.1:62884] oidc_authenticate_user: the URL hostname (localhost) of the configured OIDCRedirectURI does not match the URL hostname of the URL being accessed (172.24.3.56): the "state" and "session" cookies will not be shared between the two!`
I am terribly sorry if this may be a dumb question but I am fairly new to HPC so I thought it better to ask.
Hello and welcome! First, no dumb questions here, it can get confusing quickly in this space
Could you post the ood_portal.yml file you are using currently to configure your web-node?
Also, is your auth page coming up as expected when you hit the initial url or do you just see that 500 error immediately when going to the url to login?
Lastly, what OS and version of OOD are you running?
First of all here is my ood_portal.yml please note that it should be on a default config as I wanted to just test it first :

To answer your other questions:
No there is no dashboard coming up. When I try to connect it just straight up shows me the error message.
Although I can access the apache start page by typing https://ip:443 but as I understood from the documentation that isnt the one I’m trying to get, right?
Lastly my OS version is CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core) and my OOD version would be 2.0.28
There’s a bug on our side with defaults in 2.0. You’ve defaulted to OIDC & dex even though you didn’t mean to.
What type of authentication are you trying to setup? We’ve put you in a weird initial state that doesn’t work (obviously) so you need to enable the actual authentication scheme (whether that’s actually OIDC or Shibboleth or another).
So for my testing purposes I tried to install it with Dex and configuring the standard ood user to see if everything works.
This would also be the go to way for installing it on a live system with the exception that I’d not use the ood user but the LDAP Authentication instead.
So in both cases I’d use dex to authentificate (if I understood the installation guide correctly)
Hey there, I got it running so far but I think I messed up something while trying to configure LDAP for it.
My current config for it looks like this:
# If the value for "dex" key is false or null, Dex support is disabled
# Dex support will auto-enable if ondemand-dex package is installed
#dex:
# Default based on if ssl key for ood-portal-generator is defined
# ssl: false
# Only used if SSL is disabled
# http_port: "5556"
# Only used if SSL is enabled
# https_port: "5554"
# tls_cert and tls_key take OnDemand configured values for ssl and copy keys to /etc/ood/dex maintaining file names
# tls_cert: null
# tls_key: null
# storage_file: /etc/ood/dex/dex.db
# grpc: null
# expiry: null
# Client ID, defaults to servername or FQDN
# client_id: null
# client_name: OnDemand
# Client secret, value auto generated
# A value that is a filesystem path can be used to store secret in a file
# client_secret: /etc/ood/dex/ondemand.secret
# The OnDemand redirectURI is auto-generated, this option allows adding additional URIs
# client_redirect_uris: []
# Additional Dex OIDC clients to configure
# static_clients: []
# The following example is to configure OpenLDAP
# Docs: https://github.com/dexidp/dex/blob/master/Documentation/connectors/ldap.md
# connectors:

# config:
# host: ###-###.net:389
# insecureSkipVerify: true
# insecureNoSSL: true
# bindDN: cn=###,ou=functional_accounts,dc=###-###,dc=net
# bindPW: ###
# userSearch:
# baseDN: dc=###-###,dc=net
# filter: "(&(objectCategory=Person)(|(employeeID=*))(!(UserAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)))"

# userMatchers:
# - userAttr: DN
# groupAttr: member
# nameAttr: cn
The # are for infos I’m not specifying for safety reasons.
Besides the # for obfuscating sensitive information - did you mean to have all the lines begin with #? That means they’re commented lines in YAML, so the config is essentially nil. I’m not sure if that’s intended or not.
After running update_ood_portal you should see /etc/ood/dex/config.yaml show up. That’s where ondemand-dex (the systemd unit) will read configs from and you’ll see the configs you’ve supplied end up.
Ah yes, thank you again for your help I was being a massive idiot here.
I am also again apologizing in advance for another possible dumb question (thus taking up your time):
I got LDAP working now (hooray!) I can also login but when I do that I am welcomed by this message:
Error --

Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

Now, I am sure that I missed something somewhere because I don’t think that I should actually give every user sudo permissons just to access the dashboard right? (Because this would seem kinda unsafe for me to do)
