1. Choose a GitLab group to test with. This group should have an LDAP group link
already configured. If the output is `nil`, the group could not be found.

+ ```
+
1. Look through the output of the sync. See [example log output](#example-log-output)
below for more information about the output.
1. If you still aren't able to see why the user isn't being added, query the
LDAP group directly to see what members are listed. Still in the Rails console,
run the following query:
- ```ruby
- adapter = Gitlab::Auth::LDAP::Adapter.new('ldapmain') # If `main` is the LDAP provider
- ldap_group = EE::Gitlab::Auth::LDAP::Group.find_by_cn('group_cn_here', adapter)
+ ```ruby
+ adapter = Gitlab::Auth::LDAP::Adapter.new('ldapmain') # If `main` is the LDAP provider
+ ldap_group = EE::Gitlab::Auth::LDAP::Group.find_by_cn('group_cn_here', adapter)
+
+ # Output

+ ```
- # Output
- => #<EE::Gitlab::Auth::LDAP::Group:0x007fcbdd0bb6d8
- ```
1. Query the LDAP group's member DNs and see if the user's DN is in the list.
One of the DNs here should match the 'Identifier' from the LDAP identity
checked earlier. If it doesn't, the user does not appear to be in the LDAP
group.
- ```ruby
- ldap_group.member_dns
+ ```ruby
+ ldap_group.member_dns
+
+ # Output
+ => ["uid=john,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com", "uid=mary,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com"]
+ ```
- # Output
- => ["uid=john,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com", "uid=mary,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com"]
- ```
1. Some LDAP servers don't store members by DN. Rather, they use UIDs instead.
If you didn't see results from the last query, try querying by UIDs instead.
- ```ruby
- ldap_group.member_uids
+ ```ruby
+ ldap_group.member_uids
- # Output
- => ['john','mary']
- ```
+ # Output
+ => ['john','mary']
+ ```

+
+ **For Omnibus GitLab installations**
+

+
+ >**Notes:**
+ >
+ >- Change the value for `assertion_consumer_service_url` to match the HTTPS endpoint
+ of GitLab (append `users/auth/saml/callback` to the HTTPS URL of your GitLab
+ installation to generate the correct value).
+ >
+ >- To get the `idp_cert_fingerprint` fingerprint, first download the

+ >
+ >- Change the value of `idp_sso_target_url`, with the value of the
+ **Identity Provider Single Sign-On URL** from the step when you
+ configured the Okta app.
+ >
+ >- Change the value of `issuer` to the value of the **Audience Restriction** from your Okta app configuration. This will identify GitLab

+As part of its High Availability stack, GitLab Premium includes a bundled version of [Consul](https://www.consul.io/) that can be managed through `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`.
A Consul cluster consists of multiple server agents, as well as client agents that run on other nodes which need to talk to the consul cluster.
+## Prerequisites
+
+First, make sure to [download/install](https://about.gitlab.com/install/)
+GitLab Omnibus **on each node**.
+
+Choose an installation method, then make sure you complete steps:
+
+1. Install and configure the necessary dependencies.
+1. Add the GitLab package repository and install the package.
+
+When installing the GitLab package, do not supply `EXTERNAL_URL` value.
+
+## Configuring the Consul nodes
+
+On each Consul node perform the following:
+
+1. Make sure you collect [`CONSUL_SERVER_NODES`](database.md#consul-information), which are the IP addresses or DNS records of the Consul server nodes, for the next step, before executing the next step.
+
+1. Edit `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` replacing values noted in the `# START user configuration` section:
+
+ ```ruby
+ # Disable all components except Consul
+ roles ['consul_role']
+
+ # START user configuration
+ # Replace placeholders:
+ #
+ # Y.Y.Y.Y consul1.gitlab.example.com Z.Z.Z.Z
+ # with the addresses gathered for CONSUL_SERVER_NODES
+ consul['configuration'] = {
+ server: true,
+ retry_join: %w(Y.Y.Y.Y consul1.gitlab.example.com Z.Z.Z.Z)
+ }
+
+ # Disable auto migrations
+ gitlab_rails['auto_migrate'] = false
+ #
+ # END user configuration
+ ```
+
+ > `consul_role` was introduced with GitLab 10.3
+
+1. [Reconfigure GitLab](../restart_gitlab.md#omnibus-gitlab-reconfigure) for the changes
+ to take effect.
+
+### Consul checkpoint
+
+Before moving on, make sure Consul is configured correctly. Run the following
+command to verify all server nodes are communicating:
+
+```sh
+/opt/gitlab/embedded/bin/consul members
+```
+
+The output should be similar to:
+
+```
+Node Address Status Type Build Protocol DC

+CONSUL_NODE_THREE XXX.XXX.XXX.YYY:8301 alive server 0.9.2 2 gitlab_consul
+```
+
+If any of the nodes isn't `alive` or if any of the three nodes are missing,

1. Edit `/etc/default/gitlab` and set `gitlab_pages_enabled` to `true` in
order to enable the pages daemon. In `gitlab_pages_options` the
