Help with configuring LDAP on OSX

 #5181  by saad
 
Hi guys

We used the login-config.xml and openkm.cfg files from the documentation, and modified them for our system.

We are running Zimbra for email, and its this ldap we wish to use.

This is the openkm.cfg
Code: Select all
# Default configuration values
#
# repository.config=repository.xml
# repository.home=repository
# system.user=system
# default.user.role=UserRol
# default.admin.role=AdminRol
# principal.adapter=es.git.openkm.core.UsersRolesPrincipalAdapter
# max.file.size=5
# max.search.results=25
# system.demo=off
# update.info=off
# system.ocr=/usr/bin/tesseract
# system.openoffice=on
# system.pdf2swf=/usr/bin/pdf2swf
# system.readonly=off
# system.antivir=/usr/bin/clamscan
restrict.file.mime=off
restrict.file.extension=*~,*.bak,._*

principal.adapter=es.git.openkm.principal.LdapPrincipalAdapter
principal.ldap.server=ldap://zimbra.foobar.local
principal.ldap.security.principal=uid=admin,ou=people,dc=foobar,dc=com
principal.ldap.security.credentials="password"
principal.ldap.user.search.base=ou=people,dc=foobar,dc=com
principal.ldap.user.search.filter=(objectClass=organizationalPerson)
principal.ldap.user.atribute=uid
principal.ldap.role.search.base=ou=groups,dc=foobar,dc=com
principal.ldap.role.search.filter=(objectClass=posixGroup)
principal.ldap.role.atribute=cn
principal.ldap.mail.search.base=cn={0},ou=people,dc=foobar,dc=com
principal.ldap.mail.search.filter=(objectClass=organizationalPerson)
principal.ldap.mail.atribute=zimbraMailDeliveryAddress
system.login.lowercase=on
This is our login-config.xml
Code: Select all
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<policy>
<application-policy name="OpenKM">
  <authentication>
    <login-module code="org.jboss.security.auth.spi.LdapExtLoginModule" flag="required" > 
      <module-option name="java.naming.provider.url">ldap://zimbra.foobar.local:389</module-option> 
      <module-option name="bindDN">cn=config</module-option>
      <module-option name="java.naming.security.authentication">simple</module-option>
      <module-option name="bindCredential">password</module-option>
      <module-option name="baseCtxDN">ou=people,dc=foobar,dc=com</module-option>
      <module-option name="baseFilter">(uid={0})</module-option>
      <module-option name="defaultRole">Domain Users</module-option>
      <module-option name="rolesCtxDN">ou=groups,dc=foobar,dc=com</module-option>
      <module-option name="roleFilter">(memberUid={0})</module-option>
      <module-option name="roleAttributeIsDN">false</module-option>
      <module-option name="roleAttributeID">cn</module-option>
      <module-option name="roleRecursion">1</module-option>
      <module-option name="searchTimeLimit">5000</module-option>
      <module-option name="searchScope">SUBTREE_SCOPE</module-option>
    </login-module> 
  </authentication>
</application-policy>

</policy>

When we start Jboss/OpenKM, this is the output, up to the first error:

If you don't want to read all that, here is the first error:

Also when i try and log in, using my ldap username and password, i get the HTTP Status 403 - Access to the requested resource has been denied

Do you assign UserRole or AdminRole to user ? is mandatory to add some of these roles

Error ( take off " )
Code: Select all
principal.ldap.security.credentials="password"
Other error
Code: Select all
<module-option name="defaultRole">UserRole</module-option>
Sure it's bad ( here must be your user name who connect to ldap and other info)
Code: Select all
<module-option name="bindDN">cn=config</module-option>
I recommend enable login debug at jboss-log4j.xml
Code: Select all
<category name="org.jboss.security">
      <priority value="DEBUG" />
   </category>

The default role is "Domain Users" (without "") and all users are a member of this group.

The password isn't in "" I just put that in the post to hide our password.

The entry in login-conf.xml is now
Code: Select all
<module-option name="defaultRole">Domain Users</module-option>
Is this correct or do I need to surround it with ""?

The user "cn=config" has read/write access to the LDAP database. I have ran ldapsearch from the OpenKM server, using
this user, and I can see the entire LDAP tree.

We have enabled debug in jboss-log4j.xml, but can't find anything out of the ordinary. What do we look for?

Thanks for you help.

Help please??? Getting desparate now, we have spend far to long trying to get this to work!

Re: Help with configuring LDAP on OSX

Your first problem is on login-config.xml ( you must concentrate in this file ). That's main authentication jboss file.

Althought is well explained in wiki, that not means connecting to ldap it'll be easy. That's the reason why OpenKM offers profesional services to make administrator live better.
