Cannot log in to liferay after enabling LDAP

[Lloyd Owen, modificado 9 Anos atrás.]

I'm trying to configure my Liferay Portal to use an LDAP database. The preliminary test connections shows that liferay is successfully reading my ldap database, however I am unable to log in as an ldap user, I cannot even log in as the administrator! Is there a way that I can disable ldap login from the command line?

I'm using the latest Liferay Portal bundled with tomcat.


Thanks

I guess LDAP connection you might me know from where you have configured, either through control panel or portal-ext.properties. In both the cases you can disable LDAP connection. In the second case, as you would be changing in portal-ext.properties, server restart would be required.

Thanks for the reply,

Ldap configuration is via the control panel.

In both the cases you can disable LDAP connection

How do I disaple ldap if I have configured via the control panel?

Thanks.

Simply uncheck the Enabled & Required checkbox and save it.

The problem is, is that once I enable ldap, I cannot login! I cannot even login as the administrator to the liferay portal..

That is why I want to know if there is a way to disable the ldap settings from the command line, if one has configured ldap from the control panel.

Thanks.

If you are completely stuck, you might search for the record in portalpreferences table which has ldap.auth.enabled in the preferences

select * from portalpreferences where preferences like '%ldap.auth.enabled%'

update
<preference><name>ldap.auth.enabled</name><value>true</value></preference>
to
<preference><name>ldap.auth.enabled</name><value>false</value></preference>

then restart the portal, and try again...

then once you are back in, don't 'require' ldap while you are testing, so that you might still have a user that is in Liferay but not in LDAP to log into liferay with.

Thanks Jack Bakker

That did the trick.

Whenever you are using LDAP, it is a good idea to have an omniadmin account set up so you can get in when ldap pukes.

Hi David,

How to setup omniadmin account?
