Issue
- Is it possible to query Active Directory LDAP imported/created custom records based on certain already existing LDAP custom fields?
Resolution
-
Using Regular Expressions/OS scripting (Bash, Shell, Powershell, ZSH, etc) to query for custom records of LDAP is not possible with Liferay because of the following:
- Liferay is not an LDAP provider, it does not provide a LDAP service.
- In the portal you can integrate LDAP providers to get the user and the group data from, but it only synchronizes the data to the portal to make it possible for the users from the LDAP to access the portal.
- The goal of our current implementation is to use queries for data synchronization, but those queries are passed to the LDAP provider and not processed by the portal.
- The portal itself does not have such query running capabilities.
