LDAP Configuration

    Continuum supports LDAP for authentication. To configure it, you should follow these steps:

    * Shutdown Continuum

    * Open <<<apps/continuum/webapp/WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/plexus/application.xml>>> and uncomment the following xml

    []

%{snippet|id=ldap|url=http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/continuum/trunk/continuum-webapp/src/main/resources/META-INF/plexus/application.xml}

    All you need to configure is the ConfigurableLdapConnectionFactory and LdapUserMapper components

    * Add a security.properties files under $CONTINUUM_HOME/conf/ with the following content:

--------------------------------------------
user.manager.impl=ldap
ldap.bind.authenticator.enabled=true
redback.default.admin=adminuser
redback.default.guest=guestuser
security.policy.password.expiration.enabled=false
user.manager.impl=cached
ldap.bind.authenticator.enabled=true
--------------------------------------------

    <<adminuser>> is a LDAP user and will be the default Continuum admin. <<guestuser>> is a LDAP user and will be used for the <<<guest>>> role, generally, it is an utility LDAP account.

    * Restart Continuum

* Other resources
