We are using LDAP and have an attribute on the Users within LDAP to
implement the groups.
In out tomcat server.xml file:
<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JNDIRealm"
debug="10"
connectionURL="ldap://192.168.x.x:389";
alternateURL="ldap://192.168.xx.xx:389";
userBase="ou=people,dc=willeke,dc=com"
userSearch="(cn={0})"
userSubtree="true"
userRoleName="dictcrole"
connectionName="cn=admin,ou=administration,dc=willeke,dc=com"
connectionPassword="secret"
Then a typical user in LDAP:
dictcRole=manager
dictcRole=Authenticated
dictcRole=linux
Which represent the groups used within the Wiki.
(Ok we really use these same attributes for other apps too)
When a value is changed in LDAP, they are effective on the next login.
