- Accessing OpenOffice.org User Profiles on an LDAP Server
OpenOffice.org can use an LDAP User Profile Back End to access user profiles, such as first name, last name, and address, on an LDAP server. As a result, you do not need to manually enter user profiles when you install OpenOffice.org on a network.
To retrieve user profiles for OpenOffice.org from an LDAP repository, you need to provide the LDAP User Profile Back End with the following information:
- Location of the LDAP repository
- Mapping file that identifies the attributes in the LDAP repository that are required to generate an OpenOffice.org user profile
Configuring OpenOffice.org to Retrieve User Profiles From an LDAP Repository
You specify the settings for the LDAP User Profile Back End in an XML file. OpenOffice.org loads these settings during startup. The structure of the XML file is defined by the configuration schema for the org.openoffice.LDAP component. The schema is located in install-dir/share/registry/schema/org/openoffice/LDAP.xcs.
To Configure OpenOffice.org to Access User Profiles From an LDAP Repository (up to OpenOffice.org 3.2.x)
- In a text editor, create an XML configuration file with the name LDAP.xcu.
A sample LDAP.xcu file is provided at install-dir/share/registry/data/org/openoffice/LDAP.xcu.sample. The structure of the LDAP.xcu.sample file is:
<oor:component-data oor:name="LDAP" oor:package="org.openoffice" xmlns:oor="http://openoffice.org/2001/registry" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <node oor:name="UserDirectory"> <node oor:name="ServerDefinition"> <prop oor:name="Server" oor:type="xs:string"> <value>ldapserver.mycorp.com</value> </prop> <prop oor:name="BaseDN" oor:type="xs:string"> <value>dc=mycorp,dc=com</value> </prop> <prop oor:name="Port" oor:type="xs:int"> <value>389</value> </prop> </node> <!-- The following settings should be omitted if anonymous access is possible --> <prop oor:name="SearchUser" oor:type="xs:string"> <value>MyUserLogin</value> </prop> <prop oor:name="SearchPassword" oor:type="xs:string"> <value>MyPassword</value> </prop> <!-- End of strings that should be omitted if anonymous access is possible --> <prop oor:name="UserObjectClass" oor:type="xs:string"> <value>inetorgperson</value> </prop> <prop oor:name="UserUniqueAttribute" oor:type="xs:string"> <value>uid</value> </prop> <prop oor:name="Mapping" oor:type="xs:string"> <value>oo-ldap</value> </prop> </node> </oor:component-data>
- Server
- Host name of the LDAP Server.
- BaseDN
- Root entry of the enterprise directory.
- Port
- Port number of the LDAP Server. The default port number is 389.
- SearchUser
- Distinguished Name (DN) of an existing user with read-only access to the LDAP repository.
- SearchPassword
- Password of SearchUser.
- UserObjectClass
- Object class that identifies user entities.
For example, the user entity for an OpenDS Server might be inetOrgPerson. To find the DN of a user, you need to use this entity in conjunction with the UserUniqueAttribute attribute. - UserUniqueAttribute
- Attribute that identifies user entities.
For example, the UserUniqueAttribute for an LDAP repository that is on an OpenDS server might be uid. To find the DN of a user, you need to use this attribute in conjunction with the UserObjectClass. The server compares the value of this attribute to the login user name for the operating system. - Mapping
- String that indicates a named mapping file, that is, $(Mapping)-attr.map.
For example, if the LDAP repository is an OpenDS server, then the mapping entry is oo-ldap. This entry tells the LDAP User Profile Back End to use oo-ldap-attr.map as the mapping file. Alternatively, if the LDAP repository is an Active Directory, then the Mapping entry is oo-ad-ldap. This entry tells the LDAP User Profile Back End to use oo-ad-ldap-attr.map as the mapping file. - Replace the value placeholders in the LDAP.xcu file with the mandatory settings for your LDAP server.
- Copy the LDAP.xcu file to install-dir/share/registry/data/org/openoffice/.
To Configure OpenOffice.org to Access User Profiles From an LDAP Repository (for OpenOffice.org 3.3 and higher)
- In a text editor, create an XML configuration file with the name oo-ldap.xcd. This file should contain the same LDAP information as described above. In addition, this file also contains the OpenOffice.org configuration properties using oor:external attributes to specify the corresponding LDAP attributes. The value of an oor:external attribute must be the service name com.sun.star.configuration.backend.LdapUserProfileBe followed by a space and then followed by one or more LDAP attribute names (which may not contain commas) separated by commas (and no interspersed spaces).
- Replace the value placeholders in the oo-ldap.xcd file with the mandatory settings for your LDAP server.
- Copy the oo-ldap.xcd file to basis/share/registry/.
Mapping LDAP User Profiles (up to OpenOffice.org 3.2.x)
By default, an OpenOffice.org installation (up to OpenOffice.org 3.2.x) includes two meta-configuration mapping files that map OpenOffice.org user profile attributes to LDAP attributes. The LDAP User Profile Back End uses the install-dir/share/registry/ldap/oo-ldap-attr.map mapping file for a Sun Java System Directory Server and the install-dir/share/registry/ldap/oo-ad-ldap-attr.map mapping file for a Windows Active Directory Server. The Mapping entry in the LDAP.xcu file indicates which mapping file to use. For example, oo-ldap indicates the oo-ldap-attr.map file.
You can also create a custom user profile mapping file for an alternative LDAP server.
To Create a Custom User Profile Mapping File
- Create a text file with the name oo-ldap-server-type-attr.map.
- Type the mapping information.
Each line in the file must have the following format: user-profile-attribut=LDAP-attribute1,LDAP-attribute2,...,LDAP-attribute-n.
You can only map user profile attributes that are present in the OpenOffice.org configuration schema. The file name path for this schema is install-dir/share/registry/schema/org/openoffice/UserProfile.xcs. You can edit the list of corresponding LDAP attributes to show which attributes in the user entries hold the personal data. The LDAP server sequentially queries each LDAP attribute in the list. - Copy the mapping file to the install-dir/share/registry/ldap/ directory.
- In the install-dir/share/registry/data/org/openoffice/LDAP.xcu file, change the value of the Mapping property to the string that appears before the -attr.map in the name of the mapping file.
For example, the value of the Mapping property for the file.
