LDAP for users, groups setup manually?

Is it possible to setup openfire to use ldap security for user accounts but create the groups manually using the admin interface.

It seems to be an all or nothing option to use ldap for both users and groups. I am having problems using groups with oracle OID and wondered if this was possible?

 

thanks in advance

LDAP groups are provided by the setting in in the openfire.xml file. I am not sure how this can be manipulated to aid you. You could try to remove the ]]> provider.

Re: LDAP for users, groups setup manually?

 

This is what I've done. Just comment out the LDAP group provider. You have to do it by hand if you've used the admin console to edit the LDAP settings though. This tripped me up & screwed over my rosters until i commented it out. Then the rosters came back. Editing these setting require you to restar the server, so bare that in mind.

 

 

I use LDAP to authenticate users & Openfire groups to organize rosters.
