Which table is used for authentication in Liferay by default?

Which table is used for authentication in Liferay by default? And is there any LDAP or Active Directory used?

Solution

  • The table called user_ contains the hashed password, secret question/answer and other information contained within the user model.

    It would be wise not to use this table directly but to make use of the Liferay API and Classes such as UserLocalServiceUtil to retrieve this information.

    There is no LDAP or Active Directory in use by default, but it is an optional feature.
