I have the JasperSoft Cookbook "Authentication Cookbook 4.0" and I still can't figure this out. First think that confuses me is from the book... 2.2.1 Files to Modify All configuration changes for external LDAP authentication are made in the following files: <js-webapp>/WEB-INF/applicationContext-security.xml <js-webapp>/WEB-INF/applicationContext-security-web.xml (This file is never mentioned in the LDAP section again) <js-webapp>/WEB-INF/applicationContext-multiTenancy-security.xml in commercial editions, which have the organization architecture Next thing is the logging... I am not even sure I have it turned on right cause I only get like 3 lines that are LDAP related and they haven't been help full.
