Lookup LDAP by uid instead of email?

[rampatra]

Can anyone help me with the ldap configs required in mamute.properties if I want my users to login via their user ids instead of emails?

I have configured this way:

# Use database for authentication
feature.auth.db=false

# LDAP configuration
feature.auth.ldap=true
ldap.host=ldap1.nexagea.aola.net
ldap.port=389
ldap.user=roomptra
ldap.pass=sdfdsf7Mm
ldap.emailAttr=mail
ldap.nameAttr=givenName
ldap.surnameAttr=sn
ldap.userDn=OU=People,DC=nexage,DC=com
ldap.moderatorGroup=CN=Moderators,OU=Groups,DC=nexage,DC=com
ldap.lookupAllAttr=false
#ldap.userObjectClass=inetOrgPerson
ldap.lookupAttr=uid
ldap.useSSL=false
ldap.useTLS=false

and when I try to login with my user id I get this message:

There was an error using the configured authentication mechanism (ldap). Please check the logs for more information.

The logs give me this:

12:00:16 DEBUG [LDAPApi             ] LDAP connection error

Any ideas?

NOTE: I am running mamute in dev mode.

Hi @ramswaroop

I am using mamute with ldap connection. It was not trivial to implement, but here I share the configuration.

# --------------------------------------------
# ----------- LDAP Configuration -------------
# --------------------------------------------
feature.auth.ldap=true
feature.auth.db=false
ldap.host=domaincontroller.my.domain
ldap.port=636
ldap.user=CN=nonadmin,CN=Users,DC=my,DC=domain
ldap.pass=xxxxxx
ldap.emailAttr=mail
ldap.nameAttr=givenName
ldap.surnameAttr=sn
ldap.groupAttr=memberOf
ldap.userDn=CN=Users,DC=my,DC=domain
ldap.moderatorGroup=CN=Mamute Moderator,CN=Users,DC=my,DC=domain
ldap.lookupAttr=mail
ldap.lookupAllAttr=true
ldap.useSSL=true

I think you can change

ldap.lookupAttr=mail

to

ldap.lookupAttr=sAMAccountName

This should make login by username possible in your case.

Thanks for the help, let me try this and get back to you.

Unfortunately, I am facing the same issue. My latest mamute.properties file is like:

# Use database for authentication
feature.auth.db=false

# LDAP configuration
feature.auth.ldap=true
ldap.host=ldap1.xxx.xxx.net
ldap.port=389
ldap.user=Directory Manager
ldap.pass=xxxxx
ldap.emailAttr=mail
ldap.nameAttr=givenName
ldap.surnameAttr=sn
ldap.userDn=OU=People,DC=nexage,DC=com
ldap.moderatorGroup=CN=Moderators,OU=Group,DC=nexage,DC=com
ldap.lookupAllAttr=true
ldap.userObjectClass=inetOrgPerson
ldap.lookupAttr=sAMAccountName
ldap.useSSL=false
ldap.useTLS=false

# enable user signup
feature.signup=false

NOTE: I am running mamute in dev mode. So shall I put the above configs in development.properties in order to take effect?

@leocwolter @csokol @artdiniz @FernandaBernardo any tips you guys have? Will the ldap work if I am running in dev mode?
