How do I configure community Activiti 6 UI app to use LDAP authorization

Hi,

How do I configure community Activiti 6 UI app to use LDAP authorization?

Sorry if I missed it somewhere in the docs. Probably I have to edit activiti-app.properties so that it doesn't create an internal user database and provide query templates.

Are there any specific roles/group naming rules?

Thanks!

I think it's a bit more than just configuration. LDAP synchronisation is actually an enterprise feature that isn't available in the v6 activiti-app (see the matrix at the bottom of Alfresco Process Services (BPM) powered by Activiti | Alfresco ). If you search under Activiti/modules/activiti-ui at 6.x · Activiti/Activiti · GitHub  you don't find any references to LDAP. I think it would be a case of cloning that project and implementing ldap sync. There is another thread where somebody says they have done this and gives a reference to their code -

Thanks Ryan,

previously the internal user database didn't need to be synchronized with LDAP - the latter was able to be used just for authentication and as an assigned group/role storage, which I liked in Activiti 5.
