Issue
- When LDAP is configured with the option Required, admin users that exist in Liferay but not in LDAP are not able to log in.
Environment
- Quarterly Release 2024.Q2
Resolution
- As indicated in the documentation, when Required is enabled only users existing also in LDAP will be able to sign in:
Users can’t log in unless they can bind to the LDAP directory successfully. Uncheck this box if users with Liferay accounts but no LDAP accounts can log in.
- This generally includes admin users too.
- The only exception to this behavior are Omniadmin users. These are users that:
- belong to the default instance and
- either are admins or they are included in the property
omniadmin.users.
