[exoplatform] Re: Mixed authentication with eXo

["Patrice Lamarque" <patrice.lamarque@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As I understand you need to store users in ldap but you would like to store memberships and groups into database.
Unfortunately, we don't have such an hybrid implementation of OrganizationService.

For now, eXo only provides a full ldap or full database model storage.

In your case, you need to implement an hybrid implementation of OrganizationService that will be a mix  :
org.exoplatform.services.organization.hibernate.OrganizationServiceImpl
and
org.exoplatform.services.organization.ldap.OrganizationServiceImpl

Feel free to contribute an implementation, we will be happy to add it to the codebase after review.
I added this jira as a placeholder, if you want to attach some code : http://jira.exoplatform.org/browse/COR-69

Beware, such a mixed approach raises data integrity issues (eg a user deleted in ldap cannot be seen by ldap).

Good afternoon,

I'm looking for a way to make eXo retrieve information from LDAP and a local database at the same time. Users and passwords are stored flat in a LDAP which would be accessed read-only, but groups, memberships and profiles would be stored locally. Is it possible to set up eXo this way? I found no mention of it in the documentation or on the web. Just setting up BaseURL and UserURL in ldap-configuration.xml resulted in a crash.

Best regards,
Michaël Dupont
