Joget identifies users on Sync LDAP if the password column in database is "(NULL)", which causes the following to take place:*

  • Users cannot edit their profile.

...

  • Admin cannot use @"Admin Bar > Users > Setup User"@ to edit user information.

...

  • Only records with password equal NULL will sync to your LDAP directory.
English
If the user wants to change his password, recommended is to change it in LDAP/AD.

User Base DN

Set the user base DN property.

Info
titleTips

If you set the "User Base DN" to your LDAP Root DN, it means that the search will start from the Root DN until it finds all the results that matched the search filter.

So, setting the "User Base DN" precisely is very important as it will decide where the search is starting from. It will save all the unnecessary search between the Root DN to your "User Base DN".

Code Block
titleRoot DN
DC=joget,DC=org
Code Block
titleUnder the Root DN, you have the following DN:
DC=HR,DC=joget,DC=org
DC=Product Department,DC=joget,DC=org
DC=Operation,DC=joget,DC=org
DC=Users,DC=joget,DC=org

If your users are all under "DC=Users, DC=joget,DC=org", you should set this to "User Base DN".
By doing this, it will not go through all the other entries and it's child entries before reaching "DC=Users, DC=joget,DC=org".

User Import Search Filter

(objectClass=person)

Info
titleTips
Code Block
titleValue
(&(objectClass=person)(|(cn=admin)(cn=cat)(cn=jack)(cn=john)(cn=jackie)))

This mean all the LDAP entries which have "objectClass" attribute equals to "person" and "cn" attribute equals to either "admin", "cat", "jack", "john" or "jackie" are Joget users.

So, when a login is performed by "admin", the search filter will add additional filter and become "(&(&(objectClass=person)(|(cn=admin)(cn=cat)(cn=jack)(cn=john)(cn=jackie)))(cn=admin))". 

You will notice an extra (cn=admin) is added to the search filter to make sure it return only the "admin" user.

Info
titleUser License

User license determines on how many eventual users (sorted alphabetically) from your LDAP/AD can log in into the system. You can make use of this attribute to control amount of users returned from your LDAP.

Info
titleTips

The Debug Mode is highly recommended to be turned on when configuring the LDAP plugin for the first time.
When debug mode is on, you can find all the search queries performed by the directory manager. They will all be logged into the log file. From there, you can observe the search filter string and improve the accuracy and performance of the lookup.
