LogicalDOC on connecting Company Wide Information: Upcoming LDAP-Plugin Release

LogicalDOC becoming more maturity regarding companies with a centralised approach of storing business relevant informations. Centralised storages will be normaly associated with use of Directory Servers like Microsoft Active Directory or OpenLDAP. Particular informations, especially user informations, must be accessable through various programs where an authentication is an requirement. Foremost an centralised solution - an Document Management System - that manages important, even confidential, documents it is normaly that a employee getting access to this system on using its logon-informations being stored in the directory server.

Its a pleasure for me to say, that the newly created LDAP-Plugin developed for LogicalDOC getting more a stable status. So its not far away from revealing which is planned to be released with the next version of LogicalDOC 4.5.

What are the features of this plugin?

- automatic synchronising of users and groups in different kind of company locations (for technicans: multiple DNs where users/groups can be stored)

- users will be automatically assigned to the regarding groups being assigned in a directory (e.g. Active Directory)

- Simple- as well as DIGEST-MD5 Authentication available

- ad-hoc synchronisation of a new user: if a user is newly created and the automatic synchronising has not been started until first login

-  easy configuration of the LDAP/Configuration as predefined configurations for differend kinds of directories exist.

Currently tested directories are: Active Directory Server, OpenLDAP, Apache Directory

    Please go to following Site(SVN): http://logicaldoc.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/logicaldoc/docs/devel/trunk/design/

    There you can find a first intro on how you can make ready your LogicalDOC with an AD (logicaldoc-ldap.odt).

    For convinience-matters we´ve added a ready-to-start configuration in the file context-external-authentication.xml:

    http://logicaldoc.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/logicaldoc/community/logicaldoc/trunk/logicaldoc-external-authentication/src/main/resources/

    If its not this what helps, feel free to contact me urgently.

    Thanks for your reply.
    I have read those documents and configured LogicalDoc with AD (I’ve tried both 2003 and 2007 Windows Servers), but I have some authenifications problems:
    if parameter sAMAccountName and CN are equal (for example CN=User123 and sAMAccountName=user123) - user can login to the system, but if I define first and last name for user in AD (CN=Tom Kite, sAMAccountName=tkite) user can’t be logged on.

    I have posted bug (#0000116) but I not sure is it bug or may be I miss something in configuration
