Hi David, it should just work if you copy your modified class to 1.7.2 and configure it (see below). The authentication API hasn't changed (AFAIK), even if the modules did.
You'll have to migrate plugin.sequence.org.dspace.authenticate.AuthenticationMethod = org.dspace.authenticate.MyLDAPAuthentication from [dspace]/config/dspace.cfg to [dspace]/config/modules/authentication.cfg and ldap config options from [dspace]/config/dspace.cfg to [dspace]/config/modules/authentication-ldap.cfg If you want to see the changes to LDAPAuthentication.java between 1.6.2 and 1.7.2, see the following commit history (the commit from Apr 23, 2009 is in 1.6.2): https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/commits/dspace-1.7.2/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/authenticate/LDAPAuthentication.java Regards, ~~helix84 Compulsory reading: DSpace Mailing List Etiquette https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Mailing+List+Etiquette ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
