Paul Anderson commented on OFBIZ-811:
-------------------------------------
Mohamed, Adrian, Si,
Has any further progress been made on this issue?
I am working on a project which is going to need authentication via LDAP and I
am desperatly trying to sort out a working solution, even if it's cobbled
together in the short term.
I can connect and authenticate using the files and code put forward in this
topic, but the next step is to be able to get a list of all the groups that a
member belongs to from AD so that OFBiz can decide if the user has permissions
for the requested resource. It is getting the list of all groups for a member
from AD that I am really struggling with.... any help would be much appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Paul

> this feature, would enable Ofbiz users to authenticate their users using an
> LDAP. I developed that change in response to a customer request who wanted
> his employees to use the same passwords they use when openning a windows
> session.
> the solution was to recreate the same usernames in the Party manager with an
> unused password. and redirect the authentication to the LDAP when needed. The
> choice is made in the security.properties file. all parameters needed to
> connect to the LDAP are there also.
> After authentication all authorizations are taken out from the Party manager.
> This would give the same feature used by SharePoint, which is called cross
> privileges
> the change is minor as you would see, but very helpfull for people needing
> the same feature.
