Dear Tomáš,

We have successfully integrated LDAP and users can log in with their LDAP credentials.
However, we are facing an issue: when we try to use the lookup feature (e.g., searching for people), no LDAP users appear in the results.

Is there an additional configuration required for enabling LDAP-based person lookup in UniTime?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards,

Burak

Dear Burak,

The tmtbl.lookup.xxx properties configure the LDAP people lookup. This is independent from the LDAP authentication (unitime.authentication.ldap.xxx properties).
#Ldap for People Lookup
tmtbl.lookup.ldap=ldap://directory.university.edu:389
tmtbl.lookup.ldap.name=ou=directory,dc=university,dc=edu
tmtbl.lookup.ldap.phone=phone,officePhone,homePhone,telephoneNumber
tmtbl.lookup.ldap.department=department
tmtbl.lookup.ldap.position=position,title

There are more properties available (e.g., if the LDAP call requires authentication or if a tree needs to be searched). See Administration > Defaults > Configuration page:

Alternatively, the LDAP lookup can be configured by the ldapPeopleLookupTemplate bean in the security context file (disabled by default, see here).

The LDAP people lookup is implemented in the PeopleLookupBackend.findPeopleFromLdap(context) call.

Best regards,

Tomas
