Problems with LDAP and Continuum 1.2.3

[dbruley]

Hello,

We are trying to setup Continuum 1.2.3 and hook it into LDAP.  We're running into the following error:

org.codehaus.plexus.redback.common.ldap.connection.LdapException: Could not connect to the server. [Root exception is javax.naming.ServiceUnavailableException: ourserver.com:portnumber; socket closed]
        at org.codehaus.plexus.redback.common.ldap.connection.LdapConnection.<init>(LdapConnection.java:81)

Note I scrubbed the actual host name and port number.

We have reviewed the instructions on the the Continuum website as well as the information on Redback.  We may have misunderstood the directions and not configured something correct.

I have attached the full stack trace, as well as a scrubbed version of our application.xml and security.properties file.

I have not been successful in my searches for a resolution.  Any bugs I came across seem to be in older versions of Redback than 1.2.3 uses.

Should note that we are trying to connect secure with SSL.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

SSL is not yet supported in the Redback version used in Continuum 1.2.3
which is Redback 1.1.2.
The SSL support is in Redback 1.2.1.
(http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/REDBACK-215)
which is the one used in Continuum 1.3.3.

And, you also need to enable the
"org.codehaus.plexus.redback.common.ldap.UserMapper" component.

Thanks for your help.  We were able to integrate with LDAP without the SSL.

It appears that the guest account must be enabled in security.properties (redback.default.guest property).  If we removed that property, we encountered issues.  Our security guys frown upon guest accounts.  Is there anyway to not have a guest account or is that absolutely needed?  Couldn't seem to find any similar postings or anything in the documentation.

Yes, with 1.2.3 the guest account is required in security.properties. This
parameter doesn't exist in 1.3.x
