Mohamed Amine AZZI commented on OFBIZ-811:
------------------------------------------
Jacopo,
Actually, we want to add a new service that do the authentication through an
LDAP instead of just modifying the Login service already in place.
We want also to use an LDAP library which is compatible with the Apache licence
instead of Mozilla's one.
I hadn't enough time to learn the Apache LDAP library, so I couldn't continue
to make this issue usable. I promise to do it as soon as possible.
We can say that it's pending right now, unless someone else is intrested.

> 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.
