Issue with importing LDAPServerConfiguration

New Member Posts: 5 Join Date: 6/27/20 Recent Posts

Hello!

I have an issue with importing LDAP's server configuration. I tried to export the configuration on one server and then import it on another - it doesn't work. I tried on a totally fresh Liferay (version 7.4.1) and the issue is the same.

Steps I did:

Create system configuration for LDAP server
Exported it
Put the file in LIFERAY_HOME/osgi/configs directory
Restart the server
Nothing happens, the config is not visible, when I try to create new config there is nothing filled from my config file

What I also tried:

Debug the class LDAPServerConfigurationProviderImpl - I put the breakpoint in each method. The
```
_configurations
```
variable is simply not filled. I'm not sure how it should work behind the scenes though (how it is exactly filled).
Exporting the the configuration from fresh instance A (only changed the url to see the effect) and importing in instance B - nothing happens as well
Tried both companyId="0" and companyId="20100" but nothing works neither in system settings nor in instance settings

The name of my config is com.liferay.portal.security.ldap.configuration.LDAPServerConfiguration-3db6f4ea-10be-48d1-933e-e44016eb1442.config so I have the GUID.

I also tried with:

com.liferay.portal.security.ldap.exportimport.configuration.LDAPExportConfiguration.config
com.liferay.portal.security.ldap.authenticator.configuration.LDAPAuthConfiguration.config

And they both work for the Auth/Export config so it's only the server config that doesn't work for me.

Do anyone have working configuriation file? Or perhaps some clues what I should do? Perhaps there is some extra step between exporting and putting in osgi/configs or afterwards to make the config visible?

Hi Rafał,

Have you see, have you followed this instruction? https://help.liferay.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017892791-Managing-LDAP-Settings-Using-config-Files

That should work in 7.4. If it doesn't, I would try to identify where the process fails. Whether the config file is read by the deployment process, for example.

Regards,

Zsigmond

Hello,

thanks for the response.

I saw that article. I think it's a little bit outdated though as now hashes are not generated for all configs. Anyway I tried manually adding them (using the same hash as for server config) and it still fails.

I tried to do some debugging in Liferay code but I couldn't exactly find out how the files are read in this particular case. I was hoping someone had the same issue :) If not then I might try to do some more debugging but I'm afraid a lot of time might be lost on that.

Best Regards,

Rafał

Hi Rafał,

The .config files are managed by the org.apache.felix.cm.impl.ConfigurationManager class. I would start debugging to see if the process goes to there at all. Just to identify if this is a deployment or other kind of problem.

By the way, have you tried to copy the .config file to the deploy folder instead of the osgi/config?
