Basic configuration

This is the suggested configuration should be used when roles and users are both defined in same node, otherside refer to advanced configuration.

To configure Active Directory we must make some changes in Configuration_view only is needed restarting jboss first time you change principal.adapter parameter, other changes can be made on fly.

In this example you must change 192.168.0.6, Administrador, password and weyler values to your active directory values.


Nota clasica.png In this example all users are under same node cn=users,dc=weyler,dc=local.

system.login.lowercase=on
principal.adapter=com.openkm.principal.LdapPrincipalAdapter

principal.ldap.server=ldap://192.168.0.6
principal.ldap.security.principal=CN=Administrator,cn=users,dc=weyler,dc=local
principal.ldap.security.credentials=password

principal.ldap.user.search.base=cn=users,dc=weyler,dc=local
principal.ldap.user.search.filter=(objectclass=person)
principal.ldap.user.attribute=cn

principal.ldap.role.search.base=cn=users,dc=weyler,dc=local
principal.ldap.role.search.filter=(objectclass=group)
principal.ldap.role.attribute=cn

principal.ldap.mail.search.base=cn={0},cn=users,dc=weyler,dc=local
principal.ldap.mail.search.filter=(objectclass=person)
principal.ldap.mail.attribute=mail

principal.ldap.users.by.role.search.filter=(&(objectClass=group)(cn={0}))
principal.ldap.roles.by.user.search.filter=(&(objectClass=person)(cn={0}))

Starting with OpenKM 5.0.4 we added more "users by role" and "roles by user" configuration properties:

principal.ldap.users.by.role.search.base=cn={0},cn=users,dc=weyler,dc=local
principal.ldap.users.by.role.search.filter=(objectclass=group)
principal.ldap.users.by.role.attribute=member

principal.ldap.roles.by.user.search.base=cn={0},cn=users,dc=weyler,dc=local
principal.ldap.roles.by.user.search.filter=(objectClass=person) 
principal.ldap.roles.by.user.attribute=memberOf

In case of Active directory ( windows ) it's important that all users login be in lower case, for it purpose we enable

system.login.lowercase=on

property in OpenKM.cfg. The reason is so simply, Windows not makes any difference between upper or lower case validating user name credentials.

login-config.xml file example ( you must change 192.168.0.6, Administrador, password and weyler values to your active directory values )

<application-policy name="OpenKM">
  <authentication>
    <login-module code="org.jboss.security.auth.spi.LdapExtLoginModule" flag="required" > 
      <module-option name="java.naming.provider.url">ldap://192.168.0.6</module-option> 
      <module-option name="bindDN">CN=Administrador,cn=users,dc=weyler,dc=local</module-option>
      <module-option name="java.naming.security.authentication">simple</module-option>
      <module-option name="bindCredential">password</module-option>
      <module-option name="baseCtxDN">cn=users,dc=weyler,dc=local</module-option>
      <module-option name="baseFilter">(sAMAccountName={0})</module-option>
      <module-option name="rolesCtxDN">cn=users,dc=weyler,dc=local</module-option>
      <module-option name="roleFilter">(member={1})</module-option>
      <module-option name="roleAttributeID">cn</module-option>
      <module-option name="roleAttributeIsDN">false</module-option>
      <module-option name="roleRecursion">2</module-option>
      <module-option name="searchScope">ONELEVEL_SCOPE</module-option>
      <module-option name="defaultRole">UserRole</module-option>
      <module-option name="allowEmptyPasswords">false</module-option>
    </login-module> 
  </authentication>
</application-policy>

If you want to restrict the user who can log into OpenKM, you should change these two property in OpenKM.cfg:

principal.ldap.user.search.filter=(&(objectclass=user)(memberOf=CN=UserRole,CN=users,DC=weyler,DC=local))
principal.ldap.role.search.filter=(&(objectclass=group)(memberOf=CN=OpenKM,CN=users,DC=weyler,DC=local))

This means that only users within the UserRole groups will be shown as valid OpenKM users, and only roles which are included in the OpenKM group will be shown in OpenKM.

Also add this option one in login-config.xml:

<module-option name="baseFilter">(&amp;(sAMAccountName={0})(memberOf=CN=UserRole,CN=users,DC=weyler,DC=local))</module-option>

And remove this one:

<module-option name="defaultRole">UserRole</module-option>

All this means that only users member of the UserRole groups are able to log into OpenKM.


Nota clasica.png If you see an exception like this:
javax.naming.PartialResultException: Unprocessed Continuation Reference(s); remaining name 'cn=users,dc=weyler,dc=local'
