Issue

  • We have an LDAP server connected to Liferay and we want to deactivate Liferay users automatically when they are deactivated on LDAP.

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.3
  • Liferay DXP 7.4

Resolution

  • We can use the Status attribute to achieve it:
    1. Access Control Panel > Instance Settings > Security > LDAP > Servers.
    2. Edit the LDAP Server configuration.
    3. Map the corresponding attribute from your LDAP into the Status field.
    4. Press save.
  • The appropiate values are: 0 to active users and 5 to deactive users, so your LDAP attribute has to provide these values.
    When a LDAP user is imported into Liferay, the user is automatically activated if the Status field recives a 0 value and deacivated if the Status field recives a 5 value.
