Internal Directory with LDAP Auth not working,Too many users using LDAP

[Jason White]

Doing a test set up. If I set up as LDAP or AD (LDAP as well) and set it up as follows ....

Base DN - dc=foo,dc=bar,dc=tld
...
Additional Group DN - CN=jiraUsers,OU=GroupA,OU=InternalGroups

... it works, but it dumps our whole directory into the users

If I do Internal with LDAP Auth (**PREFERRED**) using the following:

Base DN - CN=jiraUsers,OU=GroupA,OU=InternalGroups,dc=foo,dc=bar,dc=tld

I can't get it to authenticate ... using 'copy user on login' or not.

I need it to only authenticate users in that group ... Any ideas why the second one wouldn't work or how I can get it to only sync/import the users in that group?

Hi,

Which LDAP container are your users in? If CN=jiraUsers,OU=GroupA,OU=InternalGroups,dc=foo,dc=bar,dc=tld is a group and not a container under which the users are located then using that as a Base DN won't work as JIRA won't be able to see any of your LDAP users.

You need to configure the Base DN to a container high enough in your LDAP tree so that all the users that you want to use JIRA will be in its container or one of its sub-containers, e.g. OU=InternalUsers,dc=foo,dc=bar,dc=tld You should be able to limit which users can then use JIRA by using something along the lines of (&(objectCategory=Person)(sAMAccountName=*)(memberOf=jiraUsers)) as the User Object Filter - http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Connecting+to+an+LDAP+Directory

Hope that helps?

Andrew.

In the internal Jira Directory with LDAP Authentication ....

even setting the base DN to the root (just dc=foo...) doesn't work. Neither does

OU=InternalUsers,dc=foo ...

Tried the same with LDAP (Active Directory) and ...

Base DN of

OU=InternalUsers,dc=foo,dc=bar,dc=tld

... AND ...

(&(objectCategory=Person)(sAMAccountName=*)(memberOf=jiraUsers))

in User Schema ...

Neither of them work.

No errors in catalina.out either way. The only thing that seems to work is putting users directly into the OUs and pointing directly to those OUs (no very scalable or flexible)

That's strange, it should be subtree searching.

When you were using "copy user at login" were you also specifying jira-users as a default group? It would need that mapping as users need to be in jira-users to be able to log in.

[Jason White]

Yes, I did have that set up.

I also tried sAMAccountName as the 'User Name RDN Attribute' as well as 'cn' ... but no dice.

I've bought my license, so I will be filing a ticket with them.

Thanks ...

OK, so this one is similar to this (looking at catalina.out):

https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/25711/ldap-not-woking-in-delegated-ldap-configuration-in-jira-4-3-4

But there's not final answer posted there. I'm evaluating, so I don't have a support contract. Anyone dealt with this?

Here's the stack trace:
