Issue/Introduction

ASM implementation with Kerberos configuration

Resolution

1) Install the OPMS as usual

2) run ./asm-installer update kerberos -f /etc/krb5.conf

 

In the "update kerberos" step, the installer will copy the system file /etc/krb5.conf and the directory /etc/krb5.conf to /opt/asm (the installation directory) and the configuration is mounted inside the webdriver and jmeter containers. The configuration is intentionally copied from the system directory because it often uses symlinks which would not work inside containers.

If the krb5.conf is modified at anytime, re-run the update command is needed.

 

Please check the following:

1) If possible, check that the kerberos configuration works outside containers (host OS)
2) The kerberos configuration in /opt/asm is up to date with the system configuration (both the file and the directory)
3) Using the "docker inspect asmwebdriver" check that the kerberos file and folder are mounted as volumes to the container
4) Make sure the kerberos authentication selected in your monitor configuration:
