Syntax for referral in login.config

[Dave Perry]

I had to deal with this the other day when I realised from the logs it was still talking to our old eDirectory setup (the IdP wasn't setup by me) even though my attribute-resolver is set to look at AD for attributes.

Here is my working code (with usernames/password redacted, and we use dual DCs in case one goes down):

"
ShibUserPassAuth {
      edu.vt.middleware.ldap.jaas.LdapLoginModule sufficient

//AD version

      host="DCIP1 DCIP2"
      port="389"
      base="OU=WhereAreYourUsersAccounts,DC=YourDomain,DC=YourDomainExtension"
	  bindDn="ServiceUser at YourDomain.YourExtension"
	  bindCredential="PasswordForThisUser"
      subtreeSearch="true"
      ssl="false"
      userField="sAMAccountName";
"

Note: Our AD analyst created a service account, which all our web services use to bind to AD LDAP when doing username/password/attribute lookups.

I had to consult the LDAP server weirdness page of the Wiki for this:
https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/LdapServerIssues

See the section about MS AD.


HTH,
Dave

Can't say anything about referrals, but that looks a little odd to me, you have ssl off, but startTLS on, but on the port usually used for ldaps.
Maybe that's still common, I don't know.

FWIW, I use an AD behind a NetScaler and there's no referral required, which probably doesn't help you, but I thought I'd make sure it wasn't something simpler.
