5.1 LDAP configuration using applicationContext-externalAuth-LDAP-mt.xml does not work with single organization

Issue:

In JasperReports Server v5.1, when configuring LDAP authentication usling the applicationContext-externalAuth-LDAP-mt.xml sample file, with no multitenant license, users get the following error on the login screen:

"Invalid credentials supplied.
Could not login to JasperReports Server. "

With this configuration, the JasperReports Server is assuming multitenancy and attempts to map the organization hierarchy which results in the invalid credentials error message.

Resolution:

The ldapExternalTenantProcessor bean must be configured to ignore multitenancy. The new JasperReports Server Authentication Cookbook v5.2, section 3.7.1, "Mapping to a Single Organization" (found in our Docs Area) shows the proper configuration for this bean when using a single organization (see also attached sample-applicationContext-externalAuth-LDAP-pro-nomt.xml). The bean should be configured as follows:

<bean class="com.jaspersoft.jasperserver.multipleTenancy.security.externalAuth.processors.ldap.LdapExternalTenantProcessor"
      id="ldapExternalTenantProcessor"
      parent="abstractExternalProcessor">
    <property name="ldapContextSource" ref="ldapContextSource" />
    <property name="multiTenancyService"><ref bean="internalMultiTenancyService"></ref></property>
    <property name="excludeRootDn" value="true" />
    <!-- only following LDAP attributes will be used in creation of organization hierarchy.
         Eg. cn=Smith,ou=Developement,o=Jaspersoft will produce tanant Development as child of
         tenant Jaspersoft (if excludeRootDn=false) as child of default tenant organization_1 -->
    <property name="organizationRDNs"><list /></property>
    <property name="rootOrganizationId" value="organization_1" />
    <property name="defaultOrganization" value="organization_1" />
</bean>

Note the excludeRootDn property is set to "true," the organizationRDNs list is empty, and the defaultOrganization property has been added with value, "organization_1."

Please review JasperReports Server Authentication Cookbook v5.2, for more implementation details.
