When LDAP Authentication Is Disabled, Will The User Remain In Ansible Tower?

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Environment

  • Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform

Issue

  • When LDAP authentication is disabled, will the user remain in Ansible Tower?

Resolution

  • When a user is authenticated by a LDAP server, the user will be created dynamically in Ansible Tower and marked with the LDAP flag.

  • If the authentication is disabled by blanking the form at Web UI > Settings > Authentication > LDAP > LDAP SERVER URI, the user will not be able to login but the user will still remain in Ansible Tower.

  • You can remove the user manually at Web UI > Users if you want. Then, the job history will also remain with just removing the column LAUNCHED BY.
