Are the LDAP user names and OFBiz user names the same? If not, then you'll have to use the userLdapDn field in the UserLogin entity.

UserLogin entity example:

userLoginId: john
userLdapDn: cn=John Doe,ou=it,ou=head-office,dc=domain*,dc=co,dc=uk

You can access the field from the Party Manager security area.

The user would log in as john, not John Doe.

Hi,

1.)  Using JXplorer with the following connection parameters:-   :working:

Base DN:           ou=it,ou=head-office,dc=domain*,dc=co,dc=uk
User DN:            cn=John Doe,ou=it,ou=head-office,dc=domain*,dc=co,dc=uk

      I get the Windows 2000 Server's Active Directory entries starting from
the "Base DN:" as mentioned above

       (**** I noticed that the short username i.e. "John" does not work!
One has to specify the whole user name i.e "John Doe" to get AD access ****)

2.) Now on to OFBIZ ...

     When I however, substitute the "User DN:" within ${ofbiz install
dir}/framework/security/config/jndiLdap.properties as follows:-

      ldap.dn.template=cn=%u,OU=IT,OU=head-office,DC=domain*,DC=co,DC=uk

      Active Directory authentication for OFBIZ fails, with the following in
the logs:-

       I have tried logging into OFBIZ with all of the following options:-

          a.) John
          b.) John Doe
          c.) [EMAIL PROTECTED]
          d.) domain*.co.uk\John
          e.) domain*\John

It just keeps on stating that it cannot find the user ....... :confused:

       (What is the correct syntax to use for logon ?? - domain*\John is
what I presume)

3.)   One more Q please: When adjusting ANY of OFBIZ's configuration files,
is it sufficient to (restart ofbiz via) ./stopofbiz and ./startofbiz for the
changes to take effect?....
