AWX LDAP Configuration

Following settings will allow ldap authentication using active directory with Ansible AWX.

For this article I am using plain-text LDAP. In production environments you will most likely use LDAPS which requires importing ADC cert or provide CA Cert – details for which I will next in my next blog, however for more details please visit: https://github.com/kurokobo/awx-on-k3s/blob/main/tips/trust-custom-ca.md

Login to AWX management console as the admin user.

Select the settings link in the left side menu.

Select LDAP settings under authentication.

Scroll down and select Edit

My final working config looks like below:

awx-admins is the group I am using for access to AWX. Any user who require access to awx will be added to this group.

I can now login to AWX using active directory user (no need to type domain with user).
