class { '::grafana':
  admin_password => 'admin',

}

::grafana::plugin { 'grafana-piechart-panel':
  ensure => present,
}

Extend the above to also configure LDAP authentication:

include ::openldap
include ::openldap::client
class { '::openldap::server':
  root_dn              => 'cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com',
  root_password        => 'secret',
  suffix               => 'dc=example,dc=com',
  access               => [
    'to attrs=userPassword by self =xw by anonymous auth',
    'to * by dn.base="gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth" manage by users read',
  ],
  ldap_interfaces      => ['127.0.0.1'],
  local_ssf            => 256,
}
::openldap::server::schema { 'cosine':
  position => 1,

  position => 2,
}
::openldap::server::schema { 'nis':
  position => 3,
}

class { '::grafana':
  admin_password => 'admin',
  secret_key     => 'abc123',
}

::grafana::plugin { 'grafana-piechart-panel':
  ensure => present,
}
