Hi Warrel and Torsten,
the LDAPTransformer should do updates too, there are some problems as stated here http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COCOON-1843 , but a patch has been provided and Nicola is reporting it to work. If you like to try this way, also try the patch, and if it work we can commit it.

Hi Torsten,

I had this challenge and implemented a solution using the LDAPTransformer, CForms with AJAX and a few custom Transformers that talk to the Novell opens-source LDAP library. I used the LDAPTransformer to do simple queries and the Novell library to add and delete users from predefined groups. It's not entirely what you describe (does not plug into the authentication framework for instance) but is suitable for asset control people to provision and deprovision systems. You might find the Custom Transformer source useful if you want it.

Subject
User Management Application in Cocoon, maybe based on CForms







Dear List!

Does anyone know of a Cocoon application which managed user objects (and
possibly roles and some custom attributes) which are part of an LDAP tree?

I would be looking for something which I can pass a certain LDAP
context. It should list all user objects found in that context and
provide functionality to add and edit users and assign them roles?

Shouldn't that be something which a lot of people who have been
developing all kinds of CMS and portals based on Cocoon had a need for
before? Or am I just missing the obvious?

Just to make it clear: I have understood how to use LDAP and the Cocoon
authentication framework. This is not my question. I am talking about a
(cuszomizable, maybe embeddable) UI!

Regards,
Torsten
