JBoss using LDAP

[vizawa]

Hi,

I'm a newbie about the security in JBoss. But I need to use JBoss with LDAP based authentication, using OpenLDAP.

How I can do this? How to install? And I need to create an external context mBean?

And Is it better to use JAAS with LDAP or just LDAP?

Thanks.

Victor

You can connect to LDAP by using JBoss LDAP-LoginModule.
There is a free quick-start guide downloadable from sourceforge that explains how to configure it.

Do you mind providing the link to the Quick_Start_Guide to set up JBOSS to use LDAP? SourceForge's search engine is still not functioning very well. Thanks.

It's not that hard to find....
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jboss => "Files"
and see under JBoss-Docs
