Hi! 

I have a Rundeck instance up and running, and I'm trying to configure LDAP authentication. I've setted up the jaas-ldap.conf file and now wanted to edit the rundeckd file to add the JAAS_CONF entry, as stated in this manual: https://docs.rundeck.com/docs/administration/security/authentication.html#ldap
and as I also previously did on another instance of Rundeck that I have running on another machine, but the rundeckd file is nowhere to be found!

It's not on /etc/sysconfig/rundeckd or /etc/default/rundeckd.

I even did a command to search for it (find / -name "rundeckd") but this was the only output:
/run/lock/subsys/rundeckd
/etc/rc.d/init.d/rundeckd

How do I fix this? Do I have to download it or crate it?

Thanks for all help in advance

Let me add that I also tried to look for this issue online but I couldn't find nothing about it. 

Rundeck version: v5.17.0-20251103

It's been quite a while since my initial install, but based on the timestamp and the contents, I'm pretty sure I had to create /etc/sysconfig/rundeckd.

Thank you so much for answering!

Do you recall if you had to use any template, or can I just create the file with the needed properties and that's it?

I just created mine with the properties needed. 
Here's my /etc/sysconfig/rundeckd:

JAVA_HOME=/etc/alternatives/java_sdk_21
JAAS_LOGIN=true
LOGIN_MODULE=multiauth
JAAS_CONF=/etc/rundeck/jaas-multiauth.conf
