Hi, I'm setting up to use OpenLDAP as my external provider. My user objects use 'cn' rather than 'uid' as the username attribute. How can I configure this? I see there is a 'User Pattern' configuration parameter, which looks promising, but nothing I put there appears to affect the queries being logged by my ldap server. TIA

LDAPUserStoreReader.java is

Submitted by rpeterso.mtholy... on December 29, 2009 - 13:13.

LDAPUserStoreReader.java is the problem. It hardcodes that accounts are objectClass=person. There are also numerous comments about complying with RFC 1274. That's all well and good if you use that particular schema, but many LDAP user databases use other schemas, so hardcoding a filter like (&(objectClass=person)(uid=" + userName + ")) will not work. Better to let the filter and username attribute be user defined.
