Hi Jayan, > I will try out with your suggestion. Please comment regarding the following
> (1) how do i make the http://dspacedev1:8080/dspace/ldap-login > <http://dspacedev1:8080/dspace/ldap-login> page available when a user clicks > the myDspace option from Dspace home page. This should happen automatically if you have ldap.enable set to true, and the LDAPAuthentication in your authentication method stack. > (2) Is it fine to create users that are automatically getting registered > through the above login page. It should be fine, as they have no privileges to do anything. You can disable LDAP auto registration by editing the following line in dspace.cfg: ## webui.ldap.autoregister ## # # This will turn LDAP autoregistration on or off. With this # on, a new EPerson object will be created for any user who # successfully authenticates against the LDAP server when they # first login. With this setting off, the user # must first register to get an EPerson object by # entering their ldap username and password and filling out # the forms. webui.ldap.autoregister = true > (3) The Dspace config file and LDAPServlet file are the files to be modified > when we try to use Acive Directory services for LDAP authentication. It should be possible to authenticate against AD without any modifications. We used to, until we built a new redundant LDAP service. We used the following values: ldap.provider_url = ldap://my-ad-service.aber.ac.uk:389 ldap.id_field = cn ldap.object_context = cn=users,dc=psv,dc=aber,dc=ac,dc=uk ldap.search_context = cn=users,dc=psv,dc=aber,dc=ac,dc=uk ldap.email_field = mail ldap.surname_field = sn ldap.givenname_field = givenName ldap.phone_field = telephoneNumber Obviously these will need changing for your AD. > Have a nice weekend.
