Implemented UserManager, GroupManger from the sample code provided in "Activiti In Action" book. From the debug messages, I am able to see

I'm not sure what JAR's you actually need for working with the LDAP. You don't see any exception stracktraces either?

Can you perhaps debug the code you wrote (for fetching the user) to sea if it, at least, gets there? If not, try debugging org.activiti.explorer.ui.login.DefaultLoginHandler.authenticate(…)

Hi,

just a short feedback.

minor traps maybe…

* ensure the UserId fulfills case sensitive
* ensure, if you are connected to an own db, that the ldap user is synchronized with the db
- if so, to avoid further problems switch of auto generation of the data if the inMem DB is written once to the DB

browser issues maybe…

* maybe you have a specific problem with browser configuration ( beside some caching issues ) check addons and
security settings. You may try another browser version ( and in worst case a full cleanup of the prior version you currently use)

* i used a third browser because of different behaviour in some situations

implementation problems

* to get a stand alone ldap solution ( without using third libraries ) you may have a look here.
Therefore you will need some more information about JNDI.

* you noticed changes already correctly ( at least what i was able to read )

you can check the logs of Activiti and and tomcat to get more information,
what is going wrong, therefore it maybe easier to help.

so, just some ideas…
