CAS3.0.7 + LDAP configuration -- urgent help request!!

[Richard Gundersen]

Hi

I have been going through the same hell today so maybe I can try and answer a couple of your questions:

1. Can CAS 3.0.7 configure LDAP or I have to upgrade to the most recent version?
>> Probably. Try following this guide: http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/CASUM/LDAP, it worked for me. 



2. If I want to configure CAS 3.0.7 to LDAP, I don't find porn.xml in webapps.
>> It's called pom.xml (not porn) and I think it's in a subdirectory under /META-INF


3. where should I put the following code in deployerConfigContext.xml?
>> I think it's in Web.xml. If you follow that guide in (1) it explains what you need to change. There a quite a few options to change, but I found if I went through each one systematically, I eventually got the config right. It helps if you have some config from something else that connects to your LDAP server (some other app) that you can look at for the correct syntax (LDAP connection syntax can vary a bit depending on which LDAP server you are using. Also, have an LDAP browser handy so you can see your directory structure. That will also help.


4. I don't understand the following piece code from ldap
 
     <property name="userName" value="{bind_username_goes_here}"/>
     <property name="password" value="{bind_user_password_goes_here}"/>

>> put your LDAP administrator username and password in there. So, whereas with MySQL you have root/mypassword, put in the corresponding values for LDAP instead. I can't remember if I kept the {} braces - they may not be required if you put the literal username/password in. Try with and without.


If you know how to populate roles etc into the session principal (either with MySQL or LDAP) please let me know :)

Regards 

Richard
