Open Source Document Management System | OpenKM

Dear Expert,

I would like to get expert advice for OpenLDAP configuration and I have few questions. My environment as follows;


Version - OpenKM Community Edition 6.3.2
OS - Ubuntu 14.04
Server - Apache Tomcat Version 7.0.53


Q1) Can Community Edition with Tomcat be configured for OpenLDAP authentication ?
Q2) What is the different between OpenKM.cfg and Administration > Configuration Web interface?

# Can I clearly know what are the steps (files) I have to follow to configure OpenLDAP with OpenKM


I would highly appreciate if you can give me good advice !

Thanks
Samu

It can be configured with OpenLdap, you can start looking in our documentation at https://wiki.openkm.com/index.php/LDAP_examples and here https://wiki.openkm.com/index.php/Ldap-example1 you have an specific sample for opeldap.

We suggest first modify Administration > Configuration parameters ( these are used for listing users and roles ). After changing this parameter principal.adapter=com.openkm.principal.LdapPrincipalAdapter you should restarting OpenKM, login at OpenKM/admin/ and continue until getting the list of users and roles.

Later when you finished with step described before we suggest work with OpenKM.xml. I suggest this sequence, because when you modify OpenKM.xml are changing login, and discovering mistages here is more complex and tedious rather working first from Administration > Configuration parameters, where you are still logged and changes can be made on fly. After success in showing lists of users and roles can plan to switch autentication - OpenKM.xml - to ldap, sure with less problems.

Dear Jllort,

Wish you a happy new year 2017


Thousand thanks for your reply. However, I didn't get list of users and roles. As you mentioned, I did edit Administration > Configuration and not yet edit OpenKM.xml. I have attached screenshot of my configuration and LDAP structure for kind reference.


Thanks lots.

LDAP Structure;
Configuration;

Did you changed the parameter principal.adapter=com.openkm.principal.LdapPrincipalAdapter and after it did you restarted OpenKM ?
In your ldap server I think there missing the "ldap://" should be something like "principal.ldap.server=ldap://192.168.xxx.xxx:389"

Dear Jllort,

It is working fine now. Thank you very much for your great support.

Thanks lots.

Best Regards
