LDAP Authentication Configuration

[samudaya]

Hi friends,

I'm currently using Alfresco Community 3.4.d on Ubuntu 10.04 server. And run Open-LDAP (v3) on separate server. Open-LDAP server uses MD5-CRYPT (MD5 based salted password hash) for password store. I want to configure user login by using Open-LDAP server.

I tried to configure by using wiki and forum post and few Alfresco related articles. None of those resources solve my problem (However Linux Terminal command gives relevant result).  Anybody successfully configured and authenticating by using Open-LDAP server?

Could you please post the configurations and relevant files which I have to configure? (Is there any recompile requirements?)

This is a great help for me……

Thanks

if i read this correctly:
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Alfresco_Authentication_Subsystems#LDAP

This requires the user to authenticate with part of their DN, so may require use of their common name (CN) rather than their login ID. It also may not work with structured directory layouts containing multipe organization units (OUs).

so basically, i think you are out of luck here or open a feature request for alfresco…

Hi friends,

I have solved the problem. But there is another small issue yet.

ldap.authentication.userNameFormat=uid=%s,ou=abc,dc=xyz,dc=com
When I configured as above only abc users can login to the system.

ldap.authentication.userNameFormat=uid=%s,dc=xyz,dc=com
When I configured as above nobody can login to the system.

There are several ous. So how should I configure to login all the ous?

Thank you very much…….

I've the same issue.

Anyone managed to resolve this?  Sorry for the cross post but here is my scenario.
