startup error when configuring ldap

chuck_irvine — Thu, 24 Mar 2016 21:37:32 GMT

When I configure activiti enterprise to use my local ldap server, per the enterprise admin guide, I get the following error:<code>org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type [com.activiti.service.idm.LdapSyncService] is defined at org.springfra

Note that this problem occurs whether I have my ApacheDS ldap server running or not. So, perhaps the problem can be duplicated by simply installing my ldap property file into tomcat (version 8).

Do you happen to have some other logs? There seems to be missing some logging for the actual exception.

I don't see anything wrong with the config directly (maybe make ldap.synchronization.full.enabled set to true).

Which version is this? Did you only change the properties or did some more customizations?

Good call, Joram. After setting ldap.sync.full.enabled to true, activiti-app deployed without error and sync'ed both my users and groups. I was also able to log in as one of the sync'ed users. Super!!! That was a big step. Thanks, Thanks! I had also opened a case for this problem with Alfresco customer support. I'll close that ticket after documenting the fix.

Interested as well in this fix, as we've seen it in 1.4.3. Filed issue #00681905.

As the stacktrace shows, the root cause is in Bootstrapper line 572:
<java>
protected void initLdapSync(ContextRefreshedEvent event)
{
    LdapSyncService ldapSyncService = (LdapSyncService)event.getApplicationContext().getBean(LdapSyncService.class);
    if (ldapSyncService != null) {
      ldapSyncService.asyncExecuteFullSynchronizationIfNeeded(null);
    } else {
      this.log.warn("No instance of " + LdapSyncService.class + " found. Sync with external source not happening.");
    }
}
</java>
and the LdapSyncService bean (com.activiti.conf.IdmSyncServiceConfiguration) is configured conditionally, only if either of the sync properties are set to true.

@JonnyG : what fix are you looking for exactly? (there has been some serious refactoring for the ldap sync service, so want to check what we've done against this)

At a minimum, have it working. Through v1.4.3, if BOTH ldap.sync.full.enabled or ldap.sync.differential.enabled are set to false, you will get error as above.

That has been fixed. The bootstrapper now checkes the sync properties, not the auth property.

Thanks – which version?

What I meant is that 'I fixed it' on the master branch. So 1.5.

Confirmed this is fixed in 1.5: [ACTIVITI-378] Activiti error on startup with both full and differential LDAP sync set to false. - Alfresco JIRA
