Multi-Tenancy and LDAP

[michael_kiske]

Hi.

Is it possible to configure some kind of LDAP to work with multi-tenancy? If so, how is it done, with multiples LDAP branches, one for each tenant?

If each organization has each own LDAP, is it possible to configure several LDAPs, or perhaps use referrals to link the LDAPs?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

One option is to use Alfresco's authentication chaining to chain more than one LDAP server for authentication purposes. What would happen in this case is that Alfresco will attempt to authenticate the user credentials with each LDAP server in order until one of the calls succeeds.

The Alfresco wiki has some info about that.

Hope this helps,

This should work with a multi-tenant Alfresco, as long as the LDAP server(s) can be configured to accept a fully-qualified userid (which is currently in the format "username@domainname", eg. john.smith@example.com).
