WSO2 external ldap not working

Question

I edited the user-mgt.xml to try and connect to a newly installed Apache DS LDAP.

I created an ldap user person object in apache ds ldap located at: cn=admin,ou=users,o=southpark

I tried READ ONLY section:

 <UserStoreManager class="org.wso2.carbon.user.core.ldap.ReadOnlyLDAPUserStoreManager">
        <Property name="ReadOnly">true</Property>
        <-Property name="MaxUserNameListLength">100</Property>
        <Property name="ConnectionURL">ldap://localhost:10389</Property>
        <Property name="ConnectionName">cn=admin,ou=users,o=acme</Property>
        <Property name="ConnectionPassword">admin</Property>
        <Property name="UserSearchBase">ou=users,o=acme</Property>
        <Property name="UserNameListFilter">(objectClass=person)</Property>
        <Property name="UserNameAttribute">cn</Property>
        <Property name="ReadLDAPGroups">false</Property>
        <Property name="GroupSearchBase">ou=groups,o=acme</Property>
        <Property name="GroupNameListFilter">(objectClass=groupOfNames)</Property>
        <Property name="GroupNameAttribute">cn</Property>
        <Property name="MembershipAttribute">member</Property>
        <Property name="UserRolesCacheEnabled">true</Property>
        <Property name="ReplaceEscapeCharactersAtUserLogin">true</Property>
        <Property name="maxFailedLoginAttempt">0</Property>
    </UserStoreManager>

...and get the following stack trace:

I also tried the read-write external ldap connection:

<UserStoreManager class="org.wso2.carbon.user.core.ldap.ReadWriteLDAPUserStoreManager">
        <Property name="ConnectionURL">ldap://localhost:10389</Property>
        <Property name="ConnectionName">cn=admin,ou=users,o=acme</Property>
        <Property name="ConnectionPassword">admin</Property>
        <Property name="passwordHashMethod">SHA</Property>
        <Property name="UserNameListFilter">(objectClass=person)</Property>
        <Property name="UserEntryObjectClass">inetOrgPerson</Property>
        <Property name="UserSearchBase">ou=users,o=acme</Property>
        <Property name="UserNameSearchFilter">(&amp;(objectClass=person)(uid=?))</Property>
        <Property name="UserNameAttribute">cn</Property>
        <Property name="UsernameJavaRegEx">[a-zA-Z0-9._-|//]{3,30}$</Property>
        <Property name="UsernameJavaScriptRegEx">^[\\S]{3,30}$</Property>
        <Property name="RolenameJavaScriptRegEx">^[\\S]{3,30}$</Property>
        <Property name="RolenameJavaRegEx">[a-zA-Z0-9._-|//]{3,30}$</Property>
        <Property name="PasswordJavaScriptRegEx">^[\\S]{5,30}$</Property>
        <Property name="ReadLDAPGroups">true</Property>
        <Property name="WriteLDAPGroups">true</Property>
        <Property name="EmptyRolesAllowed">false</Property>
        <Property name="GroupSearchBase">ou=groups,o=acme</Property>
        <Property name="GroupNameListFilter">(objectClass=groupOfNames)</Property>
        <Property name="GroupEntryObjectClass">groupOfNames</Property>
        <Property name="GroupNameSearchFilter">(&amp;(objectClass=groupOfNames)(cn=?))</Property>
        <Property name="GroupNameAttribute">cn</Property>
        <Property name="MembershipAttribute">member</Property>
        <Property name="UserRolesCacheEnabled">true</Property>
        <Property name="ReplaceEscapeCharactersAtUserLogin">true</Property>
        <Property name="maxFailedLoginAttempt">0</Property>
    </UserStoreManager>

...and i get the following exception around non-existent user:

[2013-02-06 05:36:13,142]  INFO {org.wso2.carbon.user.core.ldap.ReadWriteLDAPUserStoreManager} -  LDAP connection created successfully in read-write mode

Getting worried about quality, if out of the box installs are not easy to connect to each other...

Thanks for any assists...

Answer 1

If you look at your first exception - it's an xml parsing issue.

Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 106; columnNumber: 7; The content of elements must consist of well-formed character data or markup.

Please have a look at the line number given in the error.

Answer 2

It's just a malformed XML file. You've wrong the following line:

<-Property name="MaxUserNameListLength">100</Property>

Remove the dash

<Property name="MaxUserNameListLength">100</Property>
