Users from LDAP but groups from Activiti or another SQL

[p4w3l]

The chapter 17 of Activiti manual shows how to deploy LDAP totally to Users and Groups or individually with OWN implementation.

May we use individual scenario with Activiti's org.activiti.ldap.LDAPUserManagerFactory as a parameter to "customSessionFactories" leaving LdapGroupManagerFactory in "customSessionFactories" not defined so the engine would use default SQL implementation? This is how I use it today with custom classes which I would like to retire.

Here is an example in README.md how it could me more less configured:  https://github.com/biemond/activiti

Activiti 5.18 says that org.activiti.ldap.LDAPUserManagerFactory has no default constructor so it is not possible to configure in activiti.cfg.xml individually ?

Hi,

Could you give a bit more background about your question / remark. What would like to see changed in the LDAP functionality exactly?

Best regards,

The build-in LDAP support has limitations especially in org.activiti.ldap.LDAPGroupManager queries. It could be nice to allow use org.activiti.ldap.LDAPUserManager for USERS and existing ( not sure about the class name ) SQL-Activiti-based Group manager for GROUPS. This would allow to manage users in LDAP and groups natively in Activiti. That way the overall functionality would be rich.
