Re: Configuring LDAP with OFBiz

Thank you guys for your support,
   So is it final that, we should write a Custom Groovy Script to save
details in LDAP also, while
the details are being saved in OFBiz during registration process.
And no such functionality is already implemented??

Please comment on this..

Regards,
Naveen Kumar B.V

Re: Configuring LDAP with OFBiz

Posted by Adrian Crum <ad...@hlmksw.com>.
If it is something that is going into the project, then it would be best 
if the data sharing was bidirectional - so that changes in LDAP are be 
copied to OFBiz.
