[SOLVED] lock LDAP conf by GUI

[Gaëtan Dumont, módosítva 9 év-val korábban]

Hi,

I'm trying to use a clean Liferay configuration this time and I read a lot about LDAP configuration and in a lot of comments I see it's better to lock the GUI and only use the portal-ext-.properties and a custom hook to log people and update there informations from LDAP.

But I never see examples or things like that to help me understand what I have to do. Do you have some ? Or a way to create it ?

For informations I'm using liferay 6.1.2 GA3 and I have 3 AD to configure (if it was simple it'll not be fun).

Thanks for your help.

Reason to not use GUI for ldap may be because once you change anything in gui, portal-ext.properties won't work anymore.

Well.. what you need is a jsp hook. In the jsp hook, add the jsps responsible for loading ldap ui and modify them, add your messages saying.. "Please modify ldap properties using portal-ext.properties only"

The jsps you want to look for are present in webapps\ROOT\html\portlet\portal_settings

Hi, thanks for your answer.

If I create a hook it'll be enought ? To change that I usually create an ext...

hook is enough.. since you don't need to modify at code level.. you just need to hide something in UI.

Ok but... How can I do that kind of hook ? Sorry for my question I'm not confortable yet with Liferay

You can also download and see the apps from marketplace for hook.. These apps will get you a good idea..

And the corollary here, if you mess something up w/ the ldap config in the gui, you won't be able to log in afterwards and you need database access and some liferay know-how to purge it back out...
