How to authenticate with a OpenLdap? Community Edition

Submitted by francojgr18 on Wed, 02/05/2014 - 20:37

Hello, I need to know how to authenticate with LDAP, I changed the settings with jaas file but I dont know why the authentication does not work in tomcat.

I have read that only works for sp edition.

Why Bonita's authentication can not be configured through the tomcat server?

Why Bonita's authentication needs a special class to run?

Thanks

Hi,

LDAP authentication is only supplied in the Subscription Edition. If you want to use LDAP authentication in the Comunity Edition you need to implement it.

You can use the LDAP connector and create a small process to sync your LDAP and Bonita users.

Using this technique is not possible to sync passwords. Right?

Exactly, you cannot sync passwords, as they are encrypted.

Also note that user synchronization is just one part of the job. The other part being the configuration of Bonita Engine authentication service to check the user credentials against the LDAP. Such feature is available in Subscription edition but not in Community edition. For Community edition you will need to create your own custom implementation of the service.
