I have set the proper LDAP configuration in Sonar 5.6.6 LTS (ldap plugin v2.2.0.608) and I see in logs that the connection is established.
When I first try to login with my LDAP-login, I am able to do so, but my user has of course no permissions - that is okay.
The problem occurs, when I want to first add my user and give him i.e. sonar-administrators group. When it is set and I try to login, Sonar authenticates me not against the external system (LDAP) but uses his own data base.
I am sure it worked with Sonar 4.5 but now I cannot configure it properly.
The problem was that creation of new users adds them by default to the local database of SonarQube. To change this default behavior I found out that the REST API endpoint to create users contains the flag 'local' which defines whether the user should be considered as a local user added to the local database or he should be added as an external user authenticated again an external system like LDAP.
So final answer is to use the following REST API endpoint:
private final String CREATE_USER_API = "/api/users/create?login={login}&name={name}&local=false"
Please note the following property: local=false at the end of the string.

I developed a service provider interface (SPI) for User Federation in keycloak.
When I try to login with an existing case sensitive user, keycloak converts it to lower case, so at the end, the sent username was not found in my user API.
I am using keycloak 20.0.1 version and it is deploying in a docker container.
I found this post in stackoverflow that share an anwerd relatated for this, buth I do not get solution. I replaced conf/cache-ispn.xml as it metion, buth when keycloak starts it gets the error Cache 'users' has been requested, but no matching cache configuration exists.
I realy apreciate if some one knows if there is an alternative.
Regardles.
I tried to get original input username with case sensitive in keycloak login.
I am working om using Auth0 has authentication for services. I have the following problem. I have created a user but when I try to make a request with that user I get the following error.
Authorization server not configured with default connection
I have researched this and found I need to Configure the tenant
The Resource Owner Password Flow relies on a connection that is capable of authenticating users by username and password, so you must set the default connection for the tenant.
Go to Auth0 Dashboard > Tenant Settings, and scroll down to locate the Default Directory setting.
Enter the name of the connection you would like to use. Make sure it is capable of authenticating users by username and password.
But I have on idea what they mean by Default Directory. Is that the name of the Auth0 application I generated, since that is the service, that is supposed to authenticate users by username and password.
I have generated a SpringBoot app from the auth0 console. is that what they mean by connection.
Follow these steps.
Navigate to your dashboard - manage.auth0.com/dashboard
On the left menu, click on Setting
Scroll down to "API Authorization Settings"
Enter Username-Password-Authentication in the "Default Directory" input
Hit save - It typically takes about 30secs for changes to take effect
In Default Directory put Username-Password-Authentication
My auth0 was configured with a custom database, and when I was trying to get tokens using the Resource Owner Password API, I had the same issue Authorization server not configured with default connection .
The solution to this issue was:
Set the grant_type to http://auth0.com/oauth/grant-type/password-realm
Set the realm to the name of the custom database
For anyone else stumbling upon this question, you can also use the Realm property to define a specific Database connection instead of setting up a default one.
Using the management web UI, I created a new user that should have access to the management plugin, and full permissions on the default virtual host, with no password set. However, when I attempt to login as that user (with the password field set to blank), the credentials are rejected. What am I missing?

Oh, derp. It looks like a password is required if you want to use the web api. If you expand the overview section, you see this:
I have made a web interface for my project using web2py and configured login with pam. Now i have to make a CLI for the same. I could not find any way i can authenticate the user (we can assume that the user i want to authenticate is already logged in on the linux machine configured with pam and running web2py).
First you need to find out the name of the logged in user:
username = os.getlogin()
Then you force a login:
from gluon.storage import Storage
from uuid import uuid4
session.auth = Storage(user=user, last_visit=request.now,
expiration=auth.settings.expiration,
hmac_key = str(uuid4())
we are about to add a auth method to do this in one line.
To add to what Massimo said, this one-line login has been implemented now. You can do so using the following code:
#User_id is whatever the id is for the user you are forcing them to log in to
auth.login_user(user_id)
I couldn't find any documentation on this in the book but you can take a look at the method yourself in the gluon.tools module in the source.
I can auth my website with either ldap or by looking in db using different spring security authentication providers.
When i use the database auth, i use UserDetailsService, which correctly checks if my user is notActive and throws DisabledException correctly.
but using LdapAuthenticationProvider this does not occur. why?
spring security 2.0.1
Which LdapAuthenticator are you using? If you use BindAuthenticator it will bind as the given user, eventually the directory server should reject if the user account disabled/expired.
I haven't used LdapAuthenticationProvider myself, but if its not done automatically you can retrieve the userdetails, The UserDetails class has bunch of methods to check weather the account is enabled/locked/expired.
