Creation of databases fails on Data Services Manager 2.2 with webhook error

Products

• VMware Data Services Manager

Issue/Introduction

• Creation of databases fails on Data Services Manager 2.2
  
  
• The user used to create the database is a member of a large number of LDAP groups, either via direct membership or ancestor groups.
  
  
• Data Services Manager logs report a webhook error, e.g.:

./provider/audit/gateway-audit.log
...webhook postgresclusters.databases.dataservices.vmware.com: Post .... ?timeout=10s failed to call webhook: ... context deadline exceeded

Environment

VMware Data Services Manager 2.2

Cause

Where a user is a member of a large number of LDAP groups, the time to validate of the user may exceed the DSM webhook call timeout.  

Resolution

Upgrade to Data Services Manager version 2.2.1.


DSM 2.2.1 includes improvements in handling users which are members of a large number of LDAP groups.
