When is LDAP authentication succesfull?

[mgroenewegen]

For the past week we've been trying to get the LDAP authentication (to Microsoft Active Directory) to work. 

But how do we know we're succelfull? When I check the netstat I see there's a connection beeing made to the AD Server on port 389 but what I'm I supossed to see on Jasper? Could someone please post some screenshots, logging or a clear description of the on-screen activity you would exspect after succesfully authentication with a LDAP server.

Regards,

Well, according to your requirements you can say the LDAP authentication was succesfull when:

a) Recognized the user by using the usersearch

b) Populate the roles using the groupsearchfilter

 

As usual a debug log can be activated on the log4j.properties with the line

log4j.logger.org.springframework.security.ldap=DEBUG, stdout, fileout

The information is stored on the log file jasperserver.log and there you can check the connection with the LDAP Server, if the user was found and if the roles are fine.

Thanks you for your feedback.

 

We managed to get LDAP working now on the NTLM/SSO

The problem was with the user that has to query the LDAP. I used the Active Directory administrator user to do the authentication.
