Documentation for Crowd 1.4. Documentation for other versions of Crowd is available too.
This page provides configuration notes for an LDAP directory using the Posix/NIS schema RFC 2307, in relation to Configuring an LDAP Directory Connector.
Crowd supports read-only connections to an LDAP directory using the Posix/NIS schema. This is useful if you have a Unix installation and want to integrate with an LDAP directory. The Posix/NIS schema allows integration between an LDAP directory and the Unix NIS (Network Information Service).
Crowd's Posix support is read-only and OpenLDAP only
Currently, Crowd supports read-only access to the directory based on the Posix schema. You cannot add or update user details. We support only OpenLDAP with Posix, though in future we may support other directories based on this schema too.

属性 |
説明 |
|---|---|
Connector |
The directory connector to use when communicating with the directory server. |
URL |
The connection URL to use when connecting to the directory server, e.g.: |
Secure SSL |
Specifies if the connection to the directory server is a SSL connection. |
Use Node Referrals |
Use the JNDI lookup java.naming.referral option. Generally needed for Active Directory servers configured without proper DNS, to prevent a 'javax.naming.PartialResultException: Unprocessed Continuation Reference(s)' error. |
Use Nested Groups |
Not applicable. The RFC 2307 schema does not support nesting of groups, so we do not have support for nested groups in the Posix schema. |
ページングされた結果を使用 |
Use the LDAP control extension for simple paged results option. Retrieves chunks of data rather than all of the results at once. This feature may be necessary when using Microsoft Active Directory if more than 999 results are returned for any given search. |
ベース DN |
Enter the root distinguished name to use when running queries versus the directory server, e.g.: |
ユーザー DN |
Distinguished name of the user that Crowd will use when connecting to the directory server. |
パスワード |
The password that Crowd will use when connecting to the directory server. |
Group Relationships
Crowd will check both the gidNumber and the memberUid attributes to determine if a user is a member of a group. In Crowd 1.4, the name of the gidNumber attribute is not configurable — Crowd will always use this attribute to determine membership.
The RFC 2307 schema does not support nesting of groups, so we do not have support for nested groups in the Posix schema.
