Requirement:

While running the import interval, I want to prevent the import of new users from LDAP to Liferay. Instead, I only want to check the existing users in both LDAP and Liferay.

Implementation:

To achieve this, I have implemented the LDAPUserImporter interface and overridden the importUsers(long companyId) method in my custom import class. In this method, I need to obtain the LDAP context to perform the required operations. Could someone please assist with how to retrieve the LDAP context in this scenario?

 

@Override
public void importUsers(long companyId) throws Exception {
    _log.info("Entering importUsers for a specific company");
    _log.debug("Company ID: " + companyId);

    // Fetch users from LDAP
    List<User> usersFromLDAP = getUsersFromLDAP(companyId);

    // Only import existing users
    for (User user : usersFromLDAP) {
        try {
            // Skip new users or deactivate users based on your custom logic
            _log.info("Importing user: " + user.getFullName());
            _defaultLDAPUserImporter.importUser(companyId, user.getEmailAddress(), user.getScreenName());
        } catch (Exception e) {
            _log.error("Error importing user: " + user.getScreenName(), e);
        }
    }

    _log.info("Exiting importUsers for a specific company");
}
