Hi Adrian,
Errrr; no users have been created within OFBIZ. (except for Admin etc @
present)
I was under the impression that users would be created automagically within
OFBIZ (the Postgres SQL database) once they are authenticated via the LDAP
server (or Active Directory in this case)
Soooo, all OFBIZ users needs to be created manually within OFBIZ, before
LDAP authentication can take place...?
That's correct. The current integration implementation is not that
sophisticated. It was created to address a single need: allow OFBiz
users to use the same login name and password that they use for logging
into the network.
Even if the OFBiz user was created automatically, what would that
accomplish? Without additional permissions and roles, the user wouldn't
be able to do anything in OFBiz.
There has been some discussion on the dev mailing list about a more
comprehensive LDAP integration, but no agreement has been reached on how
to implement it.
