Zabbix API with LDAP authentication

[Francesco]

I have one problem with LDAP authentication .
My script is:
#!/usr/bin/perl

use 5.010;
use strict;
use warnings;
use JSON::RPC::Client;
use Data:umper;

# Authenticate yourself
my $client = new JSON::RPC::Client;
my $url = 'https://xxxxxxxx/api_jsonrpc.php';
my $authID;
my $response;
my $json = {
jsonrpc => "2.0",
method => "user.login",
params => {
user => "cn=zabbixusr,cn=Users,dc=domain,dc=com" ,
password => "xxxxxxxxxxxxx"
},
id => 1
};

$response = $client->call($url, $json);

# Check if response was successful
die "Authentication failed\n" unless $response->content->{'result'};

$authID = $response->content->{'result'};
print "Authentication successful. Auth ID: " . $authID . "\n";

response is:
Can't call method "content" on an undefined value at authPRD.pl line 27.

WHYYYYYY? :-(

Hi Francesco,

I don't think you need to specify LDAP-specific format when trying to talk with the Zabbix API....

If the "zabbixusr" account exists in your zabbix environment, just connect to it with "zabbixusr" but specify the LDAP password. That should work.

everything is ok.
The script launched on zabbixmaster works.
The script launched on my server no. They have the same domain, but different network.

Zabbix API with LDAP authentication

Just to clarify, the AD format for the user name:
user => "cn=zabbixusr,cn=Users,dc=domain,dc=com" ,

is not needed and this works fine when using LDAP
user => "zabbixusr" ,

one note of caution that bit me was make sure you use http here
my $url = 'https://xxxxxxxx/api_jsonrpc.php';

and not https. At least for me I got he following error when I tried to use https:

./auth-zabbix.pl
Can't call method "content" on an undefined value at ./auth-zabbix.pl line 32.

which in my script was the line:
$authID = $response->content->{'result'};

FYI
