 Description   

Check ldap config info in release notes 4.5.1 and in ldap module. See MGNLLDAP-71

Change http://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/releases/4-5-1.html#IfyouareusingtheLDAPConnectormodule ".. is now configurable in " to "must now be configured in ...".

Investigate:

"Docu says jndi.ldap.config should be relative to the web-app. In fact, it looks it can also be an absolute path, or use \${magnolia.home} like other path properties. This should be verified and documented.

info.magnolia.jaas.sp.ldap.LDAPUtils#getJNDIConfig throws an exception if the jndi.ldap.config property (magnolia.properties) isn't defined.
info.magnolia.jaas.sp.ldap.LDAPAuthenticationModule#getJNDIConfig first tries the jaas.config property, THEN falls back to the method above.

At present both methods have a comment that says // for backword compatability, (this used to be in magnolia.properties as a relative path.) This is the opposite of the documentation, and that the current way of configuring would be to use jaas.config? "

Documented:

  • 5.3.3 release notes now say "The path to your ldap.properties file must be configured in a new property jndi.ldap.config in magnolia.properties."
  • To set the location of the ldap.properties file in your magnolia.properties file, use an absolute or relative path or use $magnolia.home.
