Hello All,
I am looking for a way to import a user from an LDAP directory in an autologin hook.
We have setup a Liferay portal behind a reverse proxy.
Users authenticate with the reverse proxy using an X509v3 certificate.
When sending the HTTP request to Liferay, the reverse proxy sets a custom HTTP request header field with a value from the certificate.
In the AutoLogin hook, we fetch the header field value, identify the user to which the certificate belong, get her/his e-mail address.
At this point, when the user is not already recorded in Liferay, we want to import her/him from an LDAP directory.
I tried to use the com.liferay.portal.security.ldap.PortalLDAPImporterUtil class.
But I have a ClassNotFoundError when I deploy the hook. From what I understood, this is because the hook has no access to this class in its own execution context.
How can I circumvent this problem ?
I tried looking for a service class such as OrganizationLocalServiceUtil but it seems that none exist to perform LDAP imports.
Thanks for any help,
