Hi,
according to the log file the vldap-web plugin was successfully deployed and is available for use (see below)

However, no network socket is opened on port 11389 as it was configured in the portlet-ext.properties file for this plugin and hence there is no LDAP-functionality available from the Liferay Portal EE 6.1.20-ee-ga2 as I would expect...
bind.port=11389
hosts.allowed=127.0.0.1
search.max.size=1000
search.max.time=30
posix.group.id=100
samba.domain.names=geomar
samba.hosts.allowed=127.0.0.1,SERVER_IP
The OS is solaris 10 but even on a Mac OS X in developer mode we do not get access to the ldap service and even taking care of JAVA or PACL permissions doesn't help (at least not that I'm aware of...). Can anyone hint at the missing link between installing the plugin from the marketplace and having Liferay serve users and groups etc. via LDAP...?
Thanks in advance,
Carsten
