Is it possible to access an ADAM instance with CA JXplorer?
I have an ADAM up and running, it could be accessed by ADAM ADSI Edit with my own Windows account and password.
JXplorer, on the other hand, uses UserDN for authentication. What should be my UserDN then?
Thanks a lot in advance!
You should be able to specify your userDN as:
username#yourdomain.org
Where "yourdomain.org" is the fully qualified domain name of the Active Directory domain that your user account lives in.
(I should add that this is an AD specific thing - no such equivalent exists for OpenLDAP).
Yes
you create user object by the user object class.
Set password the new user(use ADSI Editor).
Use userid : full DN of user
Try it.
I know this is an old question. But I just ran into the same issue today. Here is what I ended up doing.
In Windows ADSI, I opened the instance's configuration.
Double clicked - CN=Directory Service,CN=Windows NT,CN=Services,CN=Configuration
Then changed msds-other-settings attribute to ADAMAllowADAMSecurityPrincipalsInConfigPartition=1
Then created a user object in the cn=Roles. Reset the user's password. Then copied the user's DN (e.g. CN=tuser1,CN=Roles,CN=Configuration,CN={752D29BC-24E4-45E1-AE1E-855A812848DD} )
added it to msds-memberOfTransitive attribute of cn=Administrators.
Now I can connect to it with jXplorer where I use CN=tuser1,CN=Roles,CN=Configuration,CN={752D29BC-24E4-45E1-AE1E-855A812848DD} and password for my User DN/Password for username+password connection.
I haven't been able to create new users/password or organizations with jxplorer, but at least I can see the most common attributes of the existing users and orgs.

I have a created a ldap server . I registered some users in that server. For now i am able to login through server using username and password of users from my mac system.But now i want to login through server using mail id and password of users instead of username and password.How to change this setting in mappings of ldap in mac.
Go through this link https://help.apple.com/advancedserveradmin/mac/10.7/#apdB5DE1FD6-4D51-4C20-BB66-982DB85DF258. it helped me a lot. we have to give DN as mail=mailaddress,OU=users,dc=example,dc=com.
and password whatever we configured during server configuration.
I'd add a new Mapping-File to the DirectoryServices as stated in http://support.apple.com/kb/PH9293?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US. That way you can map not only the UID or the CN for logging into the machine but also the email-address. That way you will only have to store the email-address in the corresponding field that is also used by the mail server and the possibility that one time something gets mixed up due to incomplete changes is reduced.
On the other hand it might be a lengthy process to get everything right
Update: I've just written a blog-post about mapping LDAP-Attributes to DirectoryService-Attributes. It might be helpfull here: http://andreas.heigl.org/2014/06/05/change-opendirectory-mappings/
I have SugarCRM running and able to log in and out using the super admin account. I created a new user with type Regular User and defined it password because I unchecked the auto generation of password.
Even if I change the password through the database I cannot log in. But, if I changed the the type to Administrator that user can now login. Why is that? I want it to be a Regular User only.

In version 6.5.x I have found that there is a problem with password rules. Perhaps this is the case. Go to config.php and look at passwordsetting array. There is a minpwdlenght and a oneupper. Change 'oneuppper' to 'false' and match minpwdlenght to the lenght you want.
This solved my issue.
I have set up a Ldap Server somewhere. I can bind to it, can add, modify, delete entry in the database. Now when it come to authentication isnt it as simple as giving the username and password to the server, asking it to search for an entry matching the two? And furthermore, isnt it the 'userPassword' field that contains the password for a user in there?
Now,
I tried to set up splunk to authenticate from my Ldap server, i provided the username and password, but it failed authentication. Isnt it that 'userPassword' field that splunk checks? What should be the possible reason?
LDAP servers are generally not going to allow you to search on the userPassword attribute, for obvious security reasons. (and the password attribute is likely stored in hashed form anyway, so a straight search would not work.)
Instead, the usual way to do LDAP authentication is:
prompt for username & password
Bind to LDAP with your application's account, search for username to get the full distinguished name (dn) of the user's LDAP entry
Make a new LDAP connection, and attempt to bind using the user's dn & password
(If you know how to construct the dn from the username, you can skip step 2, but it's generally a good idea to search first - that way you're less sensitive to things like changes in the OU structure of the LDAP directory)
Typically you would search using the username value provided on uid or cn values within the LDAP Tree.

I think this code will help you resolve the issue of authentication. I've answered to resolve the issue. You can check out this Question http://bit.ly/TIJMte
I'm interested in how other people code this because I'm either not understanding it properly or I'm missing something or perhaps even I'm doing it right!
First of all, this is NOT an Active Directory instance of LDAP its OpenDS which other than some syntactical differences shouldn't much matter.
So assume I have my tree structure setup something like this:
-dc=somedomain,dc=com
-uid=rootuser
-ou=Group1
-uid=username1
-uid=username2
-ou=Group2
-uid=username3
-uid=username4
In order to authenticate as the 'rootuser' I would need to pass the fully qualified Username when I create my System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry object, in this case:
uid=rootuser,dc=somedomain,dc=com
but for any other user in the tree I have to know in advance what LDAP path to append to the username to have them authenticate thru. So for example this will fail:
uid=username1,dc=somedomain,dc=com
but this will work:
uid=username1,dc=somedomain,dc=com,ou=Group1
So my question is how do you handle this when you don't know at login time what specific group a user belongs to to build that path? The only way I can figure to do it is to make the initial call as 'rootuser' so I have access to the entire tree then use System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher to scan it for that particular user (i.e. username1)
using (DirectorySearcher searcher = GetDirectorySearcher()) {
searcher.Filter = "(&(objectClass=person)(uid=" + userName+ "))";
SearchResult result = searcher.FindOne();
return result.GetDirectoryEntry().Path;
}
at that point I have the path for the user I want to login and I can proceed with the actual auth. Am I way off base here or is this generally how it is done?
thanks!
You build a search filter on attributes that are unique to the user, e.g. screen-name, e-mail. Make sure LDAP is configured to ensure they are unique. Then you find the corresponding entry if any, get the DN, and rebind as that user with the appropriate password. If there was no such entry you react accordingly.
You don't say what language you are using, but in JNDI that means setting the DN as the security principal, the password as the credentials, and calling LdapContext.reconnect().
SASL supports the notion of using a username to authenticate. Your directory server administrator may be able to configure the directory server to map distinguished names to identities. Given the correct mapping it is possible for a client to authenticate without knowing the distinguished name. Professional-quality directory servers support a number of different mapping mechanisms such as direct mapping, exact match, regular expression, or a custom identity mapper.
I have developed a screen for admin username and password,how will I display the username and domain automatically in the place of admin name label.Please help me out.. I would like to know whether I should write any custom action for this.
You can access them directly as [%USERNAME] and [%USERDOMAIN] since both are environment variables.
