OpenLDAP Integration - Issues with IDM & user management

[filiphr]

Hey @Catalyst344,

@Catalyst344

My expectation is that the integration with OpenLDAP would have all users in the same database, and that I would be able to use the identity endpoints to retrieve the information.

When you are integrating with LDAP then nothing is stored in the Flowable Database. The LdapIdentityService is used instead and the users / groups are fetched via LDAP. You should not use the Flowable REST API to create users or groups in this case.

When you are in Flowable Task can you login with the users that are in LDAP and can you assign tasks to them?

@Catalyst344

For example, I have a group named TestGroup that only contains test_user1 . However, in Flowable IDM, when I select the group it lists every user available.

Can you perhaps share the LDAP properties that you have used to configure the applications.

I’d also suggest looking into the flowable-spring-boot-sample-ldap

Cheers,
Filip
