LDAP Integration with Roller 4.0.1

[Anish Varghese]

Hi,

I'm trying to integrate Roller with LDAP (ADS system).

I'm running Roller 4.0.1 on Apache Tomcat 6.0.18 with Oracle 10g as the
database.

I've followed some posts here which say that you have to edit the
security.xml. I've pasted the same contents to my security.xml and
customized it with my LDAP details. But still I was not successful.

Does anyone have any tutorial which explain clearly how to integrate Roller
with LDAP.

I'm new to this. So any help would be appreciated

If I'm successful, I have to try it out in Websphere Application Server 6as
well.

Thanks,

Anish

we try the wiki, there is no integration between registration in
roller with ldap

so if you did registration there, the user wont added in the ldap

if you have user in ldap, u need to register again,

Thanks for the link. I had already seen it earlier.

The issue has been solved now. We are using Microsoft Active Directory
Server as our LDAP.

The problem was when the search base was set to the root dn. While
performing search, for some reason, it was throwing an error
(PartialResultException) in this case.  After changing the search base to a
specific path, it's working fine.


Now I'm trying to synchronise both the LDAP and Roller database and I have
some doubts.

1) How can we make sure that an ldap authenticated user gets automatically
registered in roller database at first login?

2) How can we make sure that the user registration page is restricted to
ldap authenticated users only?


Thanks,

Anish

I believe that there's a Roller configuration property that enables
SSO. When this property is set to true, when a arrives at Roller who
is logged into SSO but is not yet registered in Roller they will be
directed to a user registration page which will allow them to register
but not enter a password.

There is also a configuration property to turn off user registration.
I think you use it

Check the Roller Install Guide appendix, which lists all Roller
properties, for the names of those two config. properties.

Hope that helps...
