I've configured & tested openldap on my ubuntu system & ldapsearch all
works as expected.
The problem is that our Active Directory has a rather unusual setup.
Basically the person "object" has a CN of
CN=David Wynne xxxxxxxxxxx
where xxxxxxxxxx is the number on my id card. I've seen a couple of
posts about DSpace & AD where:
ldap.id_field = sAMAccountName
ldap.id_field = CN
But using JExplorer if I do a search on:
sAMAccountName=username,.ou=People, dc=jmu. dc=ac. dc=uk
or
CN=username,.ou=People, dc=jmu. dc=ac. dc=uk
I dont get any results, but if I do a search on:
ou=People, dc=jmu. dc=ac. dc=uk
with a filter of :
sAMAccountName=username
I get the right person object.
In terms of the dspace.cfg file can this be done ? Or do I need to patch
the DSpace java files ?
At the moment in ther dspace.log file:
2009-10-15 13:27:53,489 INFO
org.dspace.authenticate.LDAPHierarchicalAuthentica

-- login_password: *not logged*
-- login_submit: "Log In"
java.lang.NullPointerException
I'm guessing that the NullPointer is because the person "object" is
NULL.
Many Thanks
