Hi Everyone,

I’m trying to install Open Ondemand on our Ubuntu Slurm head node. However, I can’t get past the authentication portion. I’ve added and enabled dex ldap in the ood\_config, but the web ui just seems to ignore it.

Any help is appreaciated.

Regards,  
Kurt

Hi, and welcome! Could you share the dex portion of your ood\_config.yml file?

Hi @hrandquist,

Here is the dex portion:

```auto
# Dex configurations, values inside the "dex" structure are directly used to configure Dex
# 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

Figured out the issue. I thought I had disabled SSL for testing, but apparently I did not. Throwing in an ssl cert made it work.
