-----------------------------------
Si,
Feel free to download and improve the patch. I agree with you - it needs more
work. Yet, it is a good thing that some progress is being made.
On your second point, the OFBiz application permissions would still be used as
usual. So, LDAP (at this stage) is just used to check login credentials,
nothing else. I would like to see this expanded further to allow applications
permissions checking via LDAP - but that will be another issue.

> 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.
