Hi,

I have recently upgrade from 1.5 to 1.5.2 and have implemented
LDAPHierarchicalAuthentication.

However ldap-login page does not authenticate LDAP users at all but
password-login page authenticates LDAP users (using user CN instead of
email address). I wouldn't might other than the fact that DSpace asks
you to choose which why to login and the password-login page text asks
for e-mail address.

There is obviously something wrong somewhere with my implementation.

Hi Sarah,

If you have ldap.enable set to true, and LDAPAuthentication set in
plugin.sequence.org.dspace.authenticate.AuthenticationMethod then it
should just do it.

However, the URL used to present the login screen (ldap-login or
password-login) isn't actually a problem, as the user should get
authenticated via LDAP irrespective of the login screen. DSpace tries to
authenticate with the username and password combination given in all of
the authentication methods listed in
plugin.sequence.org.dspace.authenticate.AuthenticationMethod until it
finds one which succeeds. So your LDAP username and passwords should
work on the password-login page too.

Thanks,

Subject: [Dspace-tech] ldap login


Hi folks

I'm wondering if there is a way to redirect all login screens to the
ldap 
login screen instead of the normal login screen.

For example, I can change the login link on the sidebar to point
directly 
to the ldap login url (https://mydomain.edu:8443/jspui/ldap-login), but 
if a user is not logged in and they click on something for which they 
need to be logged in, they are bounced to the traditional login screen 
(https://mydomain.edu:8443/jspui/password-login).  Is there a 
configuration change I can make so that the users get bounced to the
ldap 
login screen globally?

Thanks!
