To start a LIC file perform the steps listed in this topic.
The LIC is a file in JSON format, specifying everything
Eucalyptus needs to know about how to synchronize with an LDAP
or AD service. Eucalyptus provides a LIC template at
${EUCALYPTUS}/usr/share/eucalyptus/lic_template.
This template shows all the fields of the LIC, and provides
detailed documentation and example values for each field.
To start a LIC file:
Enter the following command:
/usr/sbin/euca-lictool --password secret --out example.lic
The above command invokes the LIC tool to create a
template LIC and fill in the encrypted password for
authenticating to LDAP/AD service (i.e. the password of the
administrative user for accessing the LDAP/AD during
synchronization). The LIC tool’s primary functions are to
encrypt the LDAP/AD password and to generate the starting
LIC template. The usage of the LIC tool shows different ways
to invoke the command.
Once you have the LIC template, you can fill in the details by
editing the *.lic file using a text editor.
Each top level entity specifies one aspect of the LDAP/AD
synchronization.
