De-escalate LDAP health check when using SSO

Open pauljamescleary opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

Background

LDAP is part of the overall health-check in the Portal, which reports a 500 error when any failures arise. This means that LDAP connectivity loss can take out the entire portal.

When using SSO, LDAP is currently only used for NEW users in login, and for Add users to group. These functions represent a small, partial loss when using the application.

Solution

If SSO is being used, the LDAP health check should log loudly / raise an alert, but should NOT result in a 500 error response from the health check.

Seems like low-hanging fruit that can improve site reliability in case of an outage. Moving to ready.
