I am having issues with mapping my LDAP groups to OpenNebula groups. The documentation around group templates and generation of the Server1.yaml files was a bit unclear. I was able to add GROUP\_DN to my Group template, but my user account is still not mapping to the OpenNebula group that contains that entry. I also tried to manually add the information to the server1.yaml file without any success. Below is my ldap\_auth.conf settings and my server1.yaml settings. Any help would be appreciated.

ldap\_auth.conf

server 1:

```
  :user: 'cn=admin,dc=ldapdomain'

  :password: ' **********'

  

  :auth_method: :simple

  

  :host: ldapserv

  :port: 389

        

  :base: 'dc=ldapdomain'

  :group_base: 'ou=Group,dc=ldapdomain'

  

  :user_field: 'uid'

 

  :group_field: 'memberUid'

  

  :user_group_field: 'uid'

  

  :mapping_generate: false

  

  :mapping_timeout: 300

  

  :mapping_filename: server1.yaml

  

  :mapping_key: GROUP_DN

  :mapping_default: 1

 

  :rfc2307bis: true

```

server1.yaml

cn=admins,ou=Group,dc=ldapdomain: ‘100’

100 is the ID of my opennebula group
