[Geoserver-users] LDAP Authentication

Hello. I’m having a bit of trouble with LDAP authentication and wondering if there’s a known issue.

I’m running 2.2-beta2 on a Ubuntu 11.10 system. GeoServer seems to be functioning quite well.

However, if I attempt to use LDAP authentication, things don’t go so well. Following the instructions here: http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/security/tutorials/ldap/index.html, all initially goes well. Test Connection indicates “Connection Successful.” However, I move on to the next section (“Test a LDAP login”) but when attempting to log in as “bob”, GeoServer only hangs indefinitely.

I’ve tried the same with my own LDAP server instead of acme-ldap and the same thing happens.

Has anyone else seen something similar?

With thanks,
Emilio

Hi Emilio,

I think actually just fixed this last last night. If you grab the latest nightly build you should hopefully see the issue go away.

Thank you, Justin! I can confirm that it is fixed in the nightly build.

To recap: LDAP authentication appears to work great in beta1 and in the latest nightlies, but was broken at the time of beta2.

All the best,
Emilio
