Authentication using LDAP
-------------------------
Key: OFBIZ-811
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-811
Project: OFBiz (The Open for Business Project)
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: framework
Environment: all
Reporter: Mohamed Amine AZZI
Priority: Trivial
this feature, would enable Ofbiz users to authenticate their users using an
LDAP. I developed that change in response to a customer request who wanted his
employees to use the same passwords they use when openning a windows session.
the solution was to recreate the same usernames in the Party manager with an
unused password. and redirect the authentication to the LDAP when needed. The
choice is made in the security.properties file. all parameters needed to
connect to the LDAP are there also.
After authentication all authorizations are taken out from the Party manager.
This would give the same feature used by SharePoint, which is called cross
privileges
the change is minor as you would see, but very helpfull for people needing the
same feature.
