Hi All, I've spent a while attempting to work through setting up basic LDAP authorization following the guides:
http://blogs.sun.com/treydrake/entry/opends_roller_integration http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ROLLER/Roller+4.0+with+LDAP+and+CAS Because I am very new to LDAP I thought I would have a crack at learning OpenDS as I go, so installed 1.2.0 RC2 and followed the first section in the Sun blog above. After a long time trying to get this to work, I've determined that I can use LDAP for authorization only if there is a prexisting account created with the Roller admin GUI. This is counter to what I was expecting I guess, in that I assumed an LDAP authorised user would be let in, dynamically creating a Roller account using info from the user's LDAP attributes in the process. So; if I use the Roller Admin interface to create a user "davekoelmeyer", and create the same account in LDAP (uid=davekoelmeyer,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com), then the LDAP credentials override whatever I had set when the account was created in Roller - works. Without an existing Roller account however, I can't log in at all. Would someone be able to confirm if this is by design or am I missing a step somewhere? :) Cheers, Dave
