Anyone have experience using i2b2's built in LDAP auth?  We are configuring one user for LDAP auth.

 

Mainly, what should be used for the distinguished_name parameter?  We are trying 'uid=(login_name)' and getting consistent 'invalid credentials' errors.


Thanks,

John Reber

These are what our values at Jefferson look like in the pm_user_params table:

ID    Data User_id   param_name_cd             value
        Type
1 T jpr101 authentication_method LDAP
2 T jpr101 connection_url ldap://jds.jefferson.edu:389
3 T jpr101 search_base ou=people,dc=jefferson,dc=edu
4 T jpr101 distinguished_name uid=
5 T jpr101 security_authentication simple

My entry in the pm_user_data looks like this:

user_id     full_name        password email
jpr101 John P Reber (null) John....@jefferson.edu

Hello,

In particular for distinguished name, this is the parameter that is setup here:

INSERT INTO PM_USER_PARAMS
(
ID,DATATYPE_CD,USER_ID,PARAM_NAME_CD,CHANGE_DATE,ENTRY_DATE,CHANGEBY_CHAR,STATUS_CD,VALUE
)
(
select pm_params.nextval, 'T', r.user_id, 'distinguished_name', sysdate, sysdate, 'i2b2', 'A', 'cn='
from dual
);

Hello.

I could image that it depends of the server/system: for Microsoft Active Directory, we use LDAP with those parameters:

Admin-Webfrontend: Manage Users -> add user -> Params (all with type "text"):
"authentication_method" = NTLM
"Domain" = uk-erlangen.de
"domain_controller" = uk-erlangen.de (your valid AD-domain-Controller)

best regards,
Jan
