Issue
- Liferay has to authenticate the user through SAML as well as LDAP when SAML is enabled
Environment
- Liferay Portal 6.2
- Liferay DXP 7.0
- Liferay DXP 7.1
Resolution
- Authenticating users from LDAP when the SAML is enabled is not currently available as an out of the box feature in Liferay. That is when the SAML is configured, the user is authenticated only through the configured Identity Provider.
- As a workaround, configuring the LDAP in Identity Provider helps to import the users from LDAP to IDP. In this way, the IDP will be having its users as well as LDAP users which will ensure successful authentication since the user is authenticated only through IDP.
