["Zachary Blanco (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KNOX-548?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Zachary Blanco updated KNOX-548:
--------------------------------
    Attachment: KNOX-548-1.patch
                KNOX-548-docs.patch

The KNOX-548-1 patch adds a new command "topology-bind-test" as well as improving error messages output previously by the auth-test command. Both now use similar methods to authenticate a user. Debug options have also improved to include more debug output for different errors.

KNOX-548-docs adds this new KnoxCLI feature to the user-guide docs.

> LDAP bind issues are a common user issue at initial setup. Could a feature be added to knoxcli.sh to allow a user to test Knox’s bind to the LDAP server specified in a given topology?
> For example,
> ./knoxcli.sh validate-ldap-bind <topology name>
> <topology name> is the topology file name in /etc/knox/conf/topologies to use for the test. This argument would be required and ensures the test is against a running configuration. Executing without this argument could return the list of available topology files.
> Executing “./knoxcli.sh validate-ldap-bind <topology name>” will use the LDAP settings from the specified topology file in /etc/knox/conf/topologies to test the configuration’s ability to successfully bind to the LDAP server. Returning success or failure.
