LDAP support in 5.7 release?

[mtr3691]

Is it factual that the current projected release on July 1 (5.7) will include LDAP support?

Thanks

No, afaik it is not. I you saw tnat in the roadmap wiki page, take a look again, it has changed. The jira is kind of factual what is to be expected for the next two releases (kind of, so still no guarantees)

[mtr3691]

Yes, I thought I saw that…and then it was gone…

Is there a projected target date for LDAP support?

As I have been researching LDAP support, the option which everyone seems to be using is to create a new Identity Session and add it to processEngineConfiguration. So, simply put create some new code and add it to the Activiti config file, making it recognizable by Activititi, start/stop Tomcat or redeploy and you are good to go, am I missing something?

Thanks.

[ronald_van_kuij]

No, that is basically what it boils down to. And contributions are always welcome. But keep in mind the identity session is gone and replaced by the user and group manager (see this forum or the source)

[mtr3691]

Was looking for the user and group manager in the source, where in the source? I searched for "UserManager" and "GroupManager"…without locating them….so I am looking in the wrong place or in older code…

A point in the right direction would be great…thanks!

[ronald_van_kuij]

If you can't find UserManager in the source that is realy strange, but… you might know this

[mtr3691]

Thank you, I was looking in https://svn.codehaus.org/activiti/activiti/branches/cfg/modules/activiti-engine,  still learning how things work and where they are located.

Thanks again.

Why this branch and not trunk?
