Issue/Introduction

We have seen that while running process/release from RA for some actions execute re-authentication implicitly. Can you please help us with below queries

1- Is it working as per product design

2- Can we have list of such actions which requires re-authentication with LDAP during process/release execution

Environment

Release : 6.x

Component : CA RELEASE AUTOMATION CORE

Resolution

1- Is it working as per product design

Refer to KB LDAP authorization/authentication request called many times for the ROC actions

2- Can we have list of such actions which requires re-authentication with LDAP during process/release execution

There are 3 ROC actions that will send API requests with the specific user's credentials (if one is specified within the action's configuration) or with the job creator's credentials. This will require verification with the LDAP server in case the user is the LDAP user. The list of actions is:

    • ROC - Create Deployment from Deployment Plan
    • ROC - Run Deployment
    • ROC - Create Deployment From Template Category

Following ROC actions will call the APIs to the NAC with the job creator's credentials:

    1. Check Online Agents
    2. Duplicate Environment
    3. ROC - Add Step Dependencies
    4. ROC - Add Version to Artifact Package
    5. ROC - Assign All Servers From Environment
    6. ROC - Assign Artifact Package To Deployment Plan
    7. ROC - Assign Artifact To File Parameter
    8. ROC - Assign Environment Artifact Package To Deployment

Additional Information

  • Every API called from the ROC actions will create the new session. The Http client used for this purpose does not reuse previously created sessions. The concurrent sessions limit might be reached if one is specified(by default there is no limit on concurrent sessions). Refer Tech Doc Configuring Maximum Sessions Per Account for more details. Please note the limit on sessions will impact all requests i.e. external or internal and API requests may result in error in case of session limit reached.
