Description

It would be extremely helpful to provide examples where arguments are vague like vra_integration.integration_properties and vra_integration.custom_properties. I have tried inputting properties in various ways to create an Active Directory integration but can not get it to work. Ive taken all the properties as defined in the /iaas/api/integrations post method and from importing an existing Active Directory integration into Terraform. I can not get either one to work and the error is not helpful.

Describe alternatives you've considered

@pgsmith123 There are a few integration examples at the examples directory, including an Active Directory integration. Have you tried that example? is there anything else that you are looking for?

[pgsmith123]

@frodenas I did not see that. It looks like what i need. Ill give it a try today. It would be exceptionally cool if that made it into the providers resource page somehow.

@frodenas I followed the example, i have everything set except for the endpointId. Is that something that should be populated? If so where would i get that from?

Error: Failed to validate credentials. Error: [ad-integration] Failed to submit sync action [action-id: 8a768ba96b4f9716016b5276c1890058] for execution. /resources/endpoints/null

The credentials used in the terraform are exactly the same as the ones used in the GUI.

resource "vra_integration" "ad" {
  name                   = "ad.domain.com"
  integration_type       = "activedirectory"
  private_key            = data.vault_generic_secret.aria_automation.data["${var.tier}_ad_password"]
  #private_key = "password"

  integration_properties = {
    server: "ldaps://ad.domain.com"
    user: data.vault_generic_secret.aria_automation.data["${var.tier}_ad_username"]
    #user: "username"
    defaultOU: "dc=ad,dc=domain,dc=com"

Yes, the endpointId is a mandatory property, as it should be the ID of the runtime environment endpoint. Unfortunately, there is no way to retrieve this ID from a data source; you will have to manually get that ID by going to the Integrations page, add an AD integration, and inspect the page to see the network calls and get the output of the endpoints API call.
