LDAP Authentication in Liferay does not work

Question

I configured liferay to use LDAP (AD) for authentication. The import works, and user can login.

When I activate the "Required" checkbox on the LDAP tab in Configuration Panel the login fails and I get following lines in the liferay log:

15:22:26,766 DEBUG [http-bio-80-exec-6][LDAPSettingsUtil:52] Search filter before transformation (sAMAccountName=@screenname@)
15:22:26,766 DEBUG [http-bio-80-exec-6][LDAPSettingsUtil:67] Search filter after transformation (sAMAccountName=@screenname@)

Shouldn't the @screenname@ in the second line be replaced by the username in the login form?

Configuration:

How do users authenticate is set to By Screen Name

Authentication Search Filter is set to (sAMAccountName=@screenname@)

Liferay Version : Liferay Portal Community Edition 6.2 CE GA2

Answer 1

You can check following configuration.

Authentication Search Filter - (sAMAccountName=@screen_name@)
Import search filter - (objectClass=person)

Also check if authentication is set to screenname in Portal Settings - Authentication - General
