wicus edited comment on OFBIZ-811 at 6/17/08 2:59 AM: ------------------------------------------------------ I feel, to say the least, like an ID10T in how to implement this solution... Do I simply amend each file to fit my LDAP specs and then drop all the files in the directories mentioned in each file's header and recompile ? If so, where does one place the "LoginServices.java" file? Apologies for this totally weak comment. was (Author: wicus): I feel, to say the least, like an ID10T in how to implement this solution... Do I simply amend each file to fit my LDAP particulars and then drop all the files in the directories mentioned in each file's header and recompile ?

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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
