How to configure multiple users and group bases ?

The Users Base and Groups Base fields on the LDAP configuration screen define a root node to search for entries. The searches are recursive and will traverse the hierarchy starting from those nodes.  If your multiple paths share a common base you can configure that value in these properties. For instance, lets assume the following bases:

...

  1. The primary source of information is the  log file. In most cases, the LDAP connector will try to indicate what the problem is in the logs. In the log file, look for lines with LDAPSecurityManager or LdapDao.
  2. It is useful to have an LDAP browser at hand, for instance, the Apache Directory Studio. With the browser you can:
    1.  Check if the connection parameters that you configured in  are correct.
    2.  Run queries against LDAP and make sure that the expressions you configured in   are correct and returning what you expect.
  3. If you can't spot the problem and need to contact frevvo support:
    1. Stop 
    2. Go to <frevvo-home>/tomcat/logs/frevvo.log.
    3. Follow these steps to change the log level from INFO to DEBUG
    4. Restart 
    5. Execute the steps that is causing problems.
    6. Send the log file (zip) to Live Forms support (support@frevvo.com) with a description of the problem.
    7. Restore the log level to INFO.

...

Another potential issue is case sensitivity. Please refer to the topic Mixed or Upper case User Names .

A user that should be an administrator logs in but can't manage the tenant

  1. Login to your LDAP/AD Server.
  2. Make sure you have a group defined for the designer tenant admin role and it is named frevvo.TenantAdmin.
  3. Make sure the user having the problem is a member of the frevvo.TenantAdmin group. 

Another potential issue is case sensitivity. Please refer to the topic Mixed or Upper case User Names.

I can authenticate against LDAP via the Live Forms login page but SSO is not working
