Issue
- There are two locations within Liferay DXP where LDAP configurations can be set. One is the System Settings (Control Panel -> Configuration -> System Settings -> Security -> LDAP) and the other the Instance Settings (Control Panel -> Configuration -> Instance Settings -> Security -> LDAP). These two locations do not have the same UI and present the LDAP information in different ways.
Environment
- Liferay DXP 7.0
- Liferay DXP 7.1
- Liferay DXP 7.2
- Liferay DXP 7.3
Resolution
- The LDAP configurations available through the Instance Settings page should always be used first. The menu there has been created to be user friendly and provides tests that can be run to confirm that the LDAP configurations are working as expected.
