LDAP Authentification under Novell

[Andreas Ottendorfer, geändert vor 13 Jahren.]

Hi!

We've got troubles with our Liferay Configuration.
We are using Liferay Portal 6.0.5.
In our project we are trying to use authentification data from our LDAP Server (Novell Netware 6.5) .

In the configuration Interface it's possible to connect to the LDAP Server
Message: Liferay has succesfully connnected to the LDAP Server

Next step is also possible to Test LDAP Users but with warnings:

The passwordfield is empty.

Warning:
The above results include users which are missing the required attributes (Screen Name, Password, Email Address, First Name, and Last Name). These users will not be imported until these attributes are filled in.

Next step the Test LDAP Groups is also possible.

Following checkboxes are also checked
*Enabled
*Required
*Use LDAP Password Policy


Our problem:
1.) We aren't able to login with LDAP user-data.
-> Failed to login
2.) We don't want to import the whole LDAP data,we only want to check if the entered User/Password is valid

Hi Andreas,
As the warning above mentions, you need all these fields filled in on the LDAP server, if not Liferay will not import them at all.

VERY IMPORTANT!! Your LDAP user fields may be different from LDAP server to LDAP server, however there are 5 REQUIRED fields in order for the user to be recognized by Liferay as a complete user. There *MUST* be a mapping AND corresponding values in LDAP for the following fields:

Hi Gavin!

In Novell it isn't possible to get the password out.
We only want a check of User/Password.
We don't want to import the data.

Hi Andreas,
You want to enter credentials via liferay but authenticate against LDAP. Is my understanding right??

Hi Gavin!

Yes that's it!

Can you give me any advice?

Hi Andreas,
My suggestion is to integrate Liferay with CAS server and LDAP. i.e., when a user logs in ,liferay will delegate authentication to CAS, which in turn will communicate with LDAP, authenticate the credentials and sign in.

NOTE: I haven't tried the above suggestion.
