I have configured periodic full synchronization with ldap in user federation. I use group-ldap-mapper, it works fine. When the admin adds a user to a new group in LDAP (ACtive Directory), these changes will appear in keycloac only after the next synchronization. How to make it so that when the user logs into the application, the user's group membership changes from LDAP to keycloak are always loaded?
I'm interested in the following scenario:
The user has already been imported into the Keycloak database from LDAP and successfully logs into the application
The LDAP administrator includes the user in a new group
Keylock changes will appear only after full synchronization with LDAP.
How can I make the synchronization of user groups work the next time the user logs into the application?

We have HPE UOC web application which is integrated with Keycloak for authentication. Further more Keycloak is getting synced via available function (auto-sync).
Apparently this web app don't have any functionality to restrict the all users of LDAP getting logged in. like (unable/disable user)
Every user on LDAP can successfully login into web app. we want to restrict the user which don't use this web app. so that only authorized (we granted access to) users can login.
Is there any way to create some policy on Keycloak level so that we can achieve this functionality ? or some other way to restrict all user from LDAP ?
I have successfully added ldap-ad to Alfresco. Now when i am creating a user in AD, it is synchronized with Alfresco and i got an Alfresco user. The question is, if a user Bob (that has been sync from AD) changes his password (in Alfresco interface), in which authentication system the password will be changed, Alfresco or AD?
If the password will be changed in AD, then i have no other querstion, but as far as i know, there is only one direction sync, from AD to Alfresco, so Alfresco cant access the AD passwords and change them. Does this mean, that Alfresco will create a password for Bob and store it in its own authentication system and now Bob can loggin with alfresco and AD passwords (new and old)? And most important question: How to avoid that? Thanks in advance.
Alfresco uses an authentication chain concept. That means you can configure more than 1 system for the authentication and if a user tries to authenticate Alfresco steps thru the configured chain and tries one system after the other until the user has been authenticated successfully or if the auth fails on the last chain member the auth attempt is assumed as failed.
Alfresco brings it's own authentication subsystem to create and store users locally in the repo db with passwords. Locally created users like admin are stored in the local subsystem alfrescoNtlm which you could find in the node browser in the user://alfrescoUserStore/ store. That store is for the authentication of internal users only.
"users" you see and manage in the Alfresco UI are of type cm:person stored in the main store workspace://SpacesStore (/sys:system/sys:people/) but do not contain any password at all.
The ldap sync only creates users in the workspace://SpacesStore under /sys:system/sys:people/and once a user tries to login Alfresco walks thru the authentication.chain which may look like in production:
kerberos1:kerberos,ldap-ad2:ldap-ad,alfrescoNtlm1:alfrescoNtlm.
Alfresco Share only provides the user a "Change Password" dialog if the user is found in the local alfrescoUserStore. Alfresco does never change a password in any other system.
To test whether you have understood everything: What happens if a user max exists in the AD and in the local alfrescoUserStore and changes it's password in the Alfresco UI? ;-)
If you were using LDAP for authentication, then the passwords will never store in Alfresco. Passwords will be stored in LDAP and and it will be linked with Alfresco by their email or usernames.
We are developing a self registration app.
Our app allows users to register for web apps and is deployed on a weblogic 10.3.5 app server. The weblogic is connected to a local ldap system.
Once the user registeres with our app we call corporate servces to generate a user id. password activation, authentication is all handled by the corporate servcies. which also has a corporate ldap that contains all users in the company.
The approach works fine for 'new users' ie users that are not present in the corporate ldap or the local ldap: users enter their details and are issued a user id which we then copy into the local ldap once the user activates their account.
The use case we're grappling with at the moment is how to handle 'existing' users that wish to register. These are users that are currently in the corporate ldap and wish to 'register' with our applications. They get rejected during the normal registration process as they already exist in the coroporate ldap.
What i'd like to do is force them to login (simply so they don't register on behalf of somone else) and once they're logged in simply copy their data into the local ldap.
The problem is even if they are successfully authenticated by the corporate service, they don't (yet exist) as far as the weblogic server is concerned. is there a way to obtain the user id that comes with the authentication token ?
The authentication method is SAML 1.1
The application is a standard Java EE servlet based webapp using the struts2 framework.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Within WebLogic, you can define multiple authentication providers and set them up in the order you would like the system to use. Since you are copying data over, you would have to programmatically check for the existence of the account before attempting to create it on the LDAP server.
It would be a lot simpler if you use the external LDAP server directly instead of copying the data to the internal LDAP server, letting you attempt logging the user in and creating the account only while catching the appropriate exception.
We have a requirement to get information from specific users on an LDAP directory based on a Smartcard being presented. The application is already running under an AD user account, but using that users access to LDAP will not have sufficient access to the specific users data.
We have stumbled through a few parts of LDAP APIs and not had much luck finding info on how to make an LDAP bind call without username/password and more specifically with auth from a smartcard. Some of the MS LDAP appears to allow the option of using the current user token.
The best we have come up with is to use the SC to login then while impersonating the user create the ldap connecton using the current user token. Similar in idea to this MDSN blog .
Is there a better way?
The problem we are having with the impersonation is that the logged in user has to have certain rights for logging on other users to do the impersonation. Also while impersonating we need to limit other interactions, accessing the file system or registry as the alternate user is not desirable.
I have a database with LDAP login enabled. It works fine when logging in through the PIA or when logging into app-designer through the application server.
I need to make app-designer allow me to login with 2-tier mode using LDAP authentication. Is this possible without customization?
I do not think this is possible. 2-tier logs directly into the database and more importantly, does not run the signon peoplecode that does call-outs for LDAP authentication. In fact, 2-tier is really just a Win32 app that runs no peoplecode - it isn't a peoplesoft "application." There is a user callout dll delivered with peoplesoft, and some scant documents on what you have to do to use it - but again, likely not going to meet your need. You may need to use the ldap synch online app engine job to pull in your ldap users to security tables if you want to use those login identities for 2-tier access.
The only delivered way to use LDAP Authentication for App Designer is to use connection 3-Tier through the app server. Only with the 3-Tier connection will the Signon PeopleCode be executed. With 2-Tier, there is no hook to the LDAP Server.
You could look at using the Grey Sparling Desktop Single Signon, which does integrate with App Designer and uses Windows and NTLM to grab Active Directory authentication. This would give you some degree of LDAP Authentication if you Windows machine authenticates with a domain. But it is an add-on product you would need to purchase.
Otherwise, as Epictetus mentioned, you can use the LDAP Username if you have it synced with your PeopleSoft database and use the local password stored in PSOPRDEFN.
One problem I have seen is that when using LDAP and 2 tier when you login with LDAP it somehow decrypts the password in PSOPRDEFN. The next login 2 tier by that same account throws the error cannot login please encrypt password using data movoer encrypt password *. If you encrypt that users password the same results happen following that users next LDAP login.
