["David Jencks (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-4513?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12735493#action_12735493 ] 

David Jencks commented on GERONIMO-4513:
----------------------------------------

Any chance you could supply a patch, at least for the login module?  Working on this would be 10X easier for someone who already has ldap set up.

> I suggest several important improvements to the LDAP Realm, generally LDAP Realm should support the features of Tomcat's JNDIRealm (http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/realm-howto.html#JNDIRealm)
> 1. a plan should be deployable from the console
> 2. LDAP Realm should allow anonymous bind (this is cause for "blocker")
> 3. I guess "User Role Search String" means a user attribute the role names are taken from (same as Tomcat's userRoleName property). If this is set, all other role-related attributes should not be necessary. Generally, it should not be necessary to have role-related attributes at all, if you only want the users to log in, but have <role-name>*</role-name>
> 4. if "Role User Search String" is empty, there is the wrong error message "option-roleSearchMatching must not be empty"
> There is no Role SearchMatching on the dialog
> 5. On the Test Results page: if the test fails, there is only
> 	Login Failed: LDAP Error
>     There should also be the error message and even stacktrace (right now it's in the server log)
