  1. POHow to use LDAP plugin on Grails?
    text
    copied!<p>I'm starting a new project on Groovy and Grails. I'm now working on the authentication part and as we have an LDAP server I want to work the authentication using LDAP. I began setting my environment, I'm using SpringSource Tool Suite and <strong>Grails 1.3.5</strong>. When I started working with the authentication part I installed two plugins:</p> <ul> <li>springSecurityCore - 1.0.1</li> <li>springSecurityLdap - 1.0.1</li> </ul> <p>I also ran the "s2 quickstart" command for the LDAP plugin.</p> <p>Everything looks great, I can use the LoginController and the LogoutController, I'm able to secure a web page so that it can only be seen when logged in. I'm doing this by creating a user at the BootStrap.groovy</p> <p>I also configured all the LDAP and Spring Security Core parameters at Config.groovy with the corresponding values of our LDAP server:</p> <pre><code> grails.plugins.springsecurity.ldap.context.managerDn grails.plugins.springsecurity.ldap.context.managerPassword grails.plugins.springsecurity.ldap.context.server grails.plugins.springsecurity.ldap.authorities.groupSearchBase grails.plugins.springsecurity.ldap.search.base grails.plugins.springsecurity.userLookup.userDomainClassName grails.plugins.springsecurity.userLookup.authorityJoinClassName grails.plugins.springsecurity.authority.className </code></pre> <p>However, I don't know how to test that the authentication is being done with the LDAP server. I'm sure it's not being done with LDAP because when I go to the Login box when the application is running and I try to authenticate with my username and password that I normally use for the LDAP server it says that it can't find that user. If I try to authenticate with the user I created on BootStrap.groovy I'm able to login but I guess that user is being created locally only and it's transient.</p> <ol> <li>How can I set the authentication provider to be the LDAP server?</li> <li>What else do I have to do after installing the security core and ldap plugins after running the "s2 quickstart"?</li> </ol> <p>That thing of Groovy and Grails makes so many things on the background that at the beggining is difficult to understand where to configure everything.</p> <p>Thanks in advance for your help</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> I've been looking for information on how to use those plugins but I haven't found anything that is well documented, I've found information regarding Acegi but that plugin is not supported anymore, that's why I'm asking here</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> Reading this (I'll see if achieve to use LDAP): <a href="http://blog.springsource.com/2010/08/11/simplified-spring-security-with-grails/" rel="nofollow">http://blog.springsource.com/2010/08/11/simplified-spring-security-with-grails/</a></p>
