Can BCD work with a LDAP account instead of user 1000?

Q&A

Hi,

We use to use user 1000 with BCD until now.

Now our security team wants to use an LDAP account.

It looks like BCD only works with a Linux local user, but if the user is part of LDAP how can we set that? the UID/GUID is not the same and can't be logged

Is this a scenario that BCD can handle?

Thanks and Regards,

Hello,

Running a BCD controller with user ID different from 1000 is described in this part of the documentation: https://documentation.bonitasoft.com/bcd/3.4/bcd_controller#user_id_not_1000

This consists of building a custom Docker image with appropriate UID/GID. Basically this allows to map the container's user UID/GID with the host's user UID/GID in order to fix file permissions while sharing volumes from your host to the container.

As far as I understood, your host user now needs to be part of LDAP. If this ends up with a Linux user having a UID/GID different from 1000, then the above solution should work.

Best regards.
