Dspace Active directory Ldap Auth

[Мухаметали Кусайынов]

Hello dear Dspace community! I can not solve one problem for 4 months, and I ask you for help!
I installed Dspace 7.4 on an Ubuntu 20.04 virtual private server.
Now I would like students to login to Dspace via Active Directory LDAP. But the problem is that our system administrators only know about the Windows Server OS and are not familiar with the Linux OS. So they don't know how to link Active Directory to Ubuntu server.
I have found several guides. And it says that you need to install the OpenLDAP server.
But if I understand correctly, then this is necessary for authorization in Ubuntu OS. But I want to login to Dspace 7.4 not Ubuntu.

Therefore, I would like to ask you:
1) Do I need to install OpenLDAP on Ubuntu
2) If so, how then to link OpenLDAP with Dspace 7.4? So that Dspace can look up a user in Active Directory?
3) If I don't need to install OpenLDAP, what should I do to make Dspace 7.4 on Ubuntu look for users in the Windows Server Active Directory?
Please suggest specific steps how to solve this problem please!
Thank you very much.
Sincerely, Mukhametali.

Hi Mukhametali,

 

First of all, you need not install OpenLDAP.

You need to setup your Ubuntu as AD client or member. It is just Linux client (Dspace Server users) should get authenticated through your Windows AD.

Please refer link as below

Hi

 

You need to set that up i.e., plugin for LDAP.

I have not done that (AD Integration) personally in my lab or production environment.

Hello, again sir! And thanks for answering.
I'll try to do it, sir. Next, do I need to connect the plugin as in the Dspace 7 documentation on Ldap authorization https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Authentication+Plugins#AuthenticationPlugins-LDAPAuthentication? Sorry for the stupid question, sir! I'm just a beginner and don't understand all the details.
