Torsten Schlabach commented on OFBIZ-811: ----------------------------------------- Adrian, got your point. I am currently trying to make Amine's patch work for me, but though I put that ldapjdk.jar in framework/webapp/lib I am facing "cannot find symbol" errors, i.e. it does not seem to make it to the classpath. Any quick hints on that? I tried putting it in security/build/lib but this dir seems to get emptied on every build. > Authentication using LDAP > ------------------------- > > Key: OFBIZ-811 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-811 > Project: OFBiz > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: framework > Environment: all > Reporter: Mohamed Amine AZZI > Assignee: Si Chen > Priority: Trivial > Attachments: ldap_properties.patch, LoginServices.java.diff, > security.properties.diff > > > this feature, would enable Ofbiz users to authenticate their users using an > LDAP.
