Ldap authentication on Jboss portal 2.6 cr2

[georgy]

I am trying to authenticate users registered in my ldap base. I am using an Active directory server. I replaced identity-config.xml by ldap_identity-config.xml in the jboss-service.xml file and i configured my ldap connection (modification of ldap_identity-config.xml). But when start the portal, i get the following "exception":

--- MBeans waiting for other MBeans ---
ObjectName: portal:service=Module,type=IdentityServiceController
 State: FAILED
 Reason: org.jboss.portal.identity.IdentityException: Cannot initiate identity modules:

 portal:name=User,service=Interceptor,type=Server
 portal:service=Module,type=Mail

Does anybody know the cause of this problem?

1) There were few minor bugs in CR2 - could you try with latest sources from svn? http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/portal/trunk
2) MSAD is not officially supported at the moment, but I believe that base features should work.
3) Could you look at the server output and provide more information and Exceptions that you find there?

I hope we'll work it out.

I am trying to use LDAP for user identity. Which LDAP server is supported? Does JBOSS AS come with LDAP server? Thanks for advice.

At the moment JBoss Portal 2.6 is tested with Red Hat Directory Server, OpenDS and OpenLDAP. We aim to add Novel and MSAD to this set later.

There is no LDAP bundled with JBoss AS at the moment.

It seems i have made a mistake in the ldap cofiguration since there is a "class name not found". pdc01 is the name i used in the ldap_config.xml

<identity-configuration>
 <datasources>
 <datasource>
 <name>pdc01</name>
 <config>
 <option>
 <name>host</name>
 <value>192.168.10.240</value>
 </option>
 <option>
 <name>port</name>
 <value>389</value>
 </option>
 ...........

What does the "name" tag correspond to?

Please read:
http://cruisecontrol.jboss.com/cc/artifacts/jboss-portal-latest-doc/referenceGuide//html/identity.html#d0e5664
(and the rest of the chapter)

If you compare content of files 'standardidentity-config.xml' and 'ldap_identity-config.xml' you will find that the 'name' makes a link to provide some default config parameters, so you don't need to specify everything in your 'ldap_identity-config.xml'

In your case just leave

<name>LDAP</name>
