I'm trying to browse the embedded ldap server of WSO2 Identity Server thanks to a LDAP client.
I didn't change the default configuration and I connected successfully as uid=admin,ou=Users,dc=wso2,dc=org.
But then, I don't see the other users I created thanks to WSO2 IS console.
Where and how can I see how the users are stored in the embedded ldap server?
With the default configuration, WSO2 Identity Server get connected to the embedded LDAP server using the user uid=admin,ou=system. And, users will be created in ou=Users,dc=wso2,dc=org and groups will be created in ou=Groups,dc=wso2,dc=org.
Did you create the user uid=admin,ou=Users,dc=wso2,dc=org ?
Use the ldapsearch command line tool or an LDAP browser.

I am only getting started with WSO2 Identity Server.
What do I need?
- getting verification from LDAP server that user (entry) is existing there through WSO2 Identity Server.
Is it possible? Can I do this by adding a new identity Provider in https://localhost:9444/carbon/?
Any ideas or help.
Sorry, if my question is dumb.
Identity server comes with an embedded LDAP server as its primary userstore. But you can change userstore configurations so that IS works with your LDAP too. You also can add your LDAP as a secondary userstore as well.
After that, if you go to User and Roles section in UI, you should see Users and Roles existing in your LDAP.
Our system is using a LDAP server (OUD) and we're bringing Zimbra to the system. However, Zimbra use its default LDAP server (OpenLDAP). That's is paintul with 2 LDAP servers which store same user information.
Is there any way that Zimbra store its users in an external LDAP server?
Many thanks
Nope, zimbra needs his own internal LDAP server. Zimbra LDAP server stores user accounts, Class of Services, global settings and servers configuration.
The best practice is to manage user accounts in an external LDAP server (OpenLdap, Active Directory...) and then sync data beetwen external LDAP and Zimbra internal LDAP. There are many scripts on the Internet you'll find to do that.
You can either configure "Delegated Auth", zimbra will validate user auth against you external LDAP server and not internal LDAP (unless you activate the fallback). The point is to manage user passwords in your external LDAP server, so users won't be confused.
I am using MarkLogic version 8.04 on CentOS 6. I am trying to do external authentication/authorization using LDAP.
I've created an external security authentication object:
name ldap-config-simple
authentication ldap
authorization ldap
ldap server url ldap://<my server address>:389
ldap base ou=<mycompany>,dc=<info>,dc=<my org>
ldap attribute sAMAccountName
ldap default user cn=<user id>,ou=xxxx,ou=yyyyy,dc=<info>,dc=<my org>
ldap bind method simple
and associated it with an HTML App server (here are the pertinent settings):
authentication basic
internal security true
external security ldap-config-simple
And I have associated an LDAP group to a role (here are the pertinent settings):
external name cn=marklogic,ou=groups,dc=<info>,dc=<my org>
The problem is that authentication fails when I try to access the App server using my LDAP user. The log for the external LDAP server shows that the search string that MarkLogic sends looks like this:
(member=cn=marklogic,ou=groups,dc=<info>,dc=<my org>)
But the LDAP server is expecting the search to be:
(memberOf=cn=marklogic,ou=groups,dc=<info>,dc=<my org>)
The LDAP Server admin assures me that "memberOf" is the accepted standard for this type of query. We are using an OpenLDAP server - it is a pretty standard LDAP installation. Is there a way to have MarkLogic send "memberOf=" for the search rather than "member=" ?
Note that I was able to authenticate with my LDAP user ID through the App Server when I associated my user's DN in the LDAP server to a configured MarkLogic user. But I would prefer to use the Role based authentication since that puts the access controls in the LDAP server.
Any help appreciated.
Answering my own question. It is working now with the configuration above - although I didn't make any changes. MarkLogic support told me that a previous configuration may have been cached. In the process of debugging this I did a network packet trace to see exactly what MarkLogic was sending and it looks like it actually requests both the "memberOf" and "member" groups - I guess the LDAP admin only saw the latter in the logs.
I am doing external authentication using LDAP. I have to authenticate a user via LDAP and allow the user to access many app servers. I want to know how to map all the ldap user ( users in ldap server Example:ldap://company1.local:389) with users in Database. I have created a external configuration object and assigned to a new http server with application level authentication. I dont want to store ldap user password in database. Do I have to create all users(same as in active directory) in database with some password and map them?
Yes, it's possible to configure ML to use external authentication via LDAP:

We have a MSSQL2005 Database on our domain, We can only connect to the database using Windows Authentication. When i am on the domain it connects perfectly, but when i am not on the domain i am unable to pass through my domain credentials to connect to the database.
I tried using Server Authentication and passing domain credentials but i haven't been successful
Thanx
Have a look at this tutorial he gives a nice explanation including screenshots
Are you sure this is even possible? You want to connect to database using domain account when your windows machine is not on a domain.
Try using local windows account.
