  1. Alter your roller-custom.properties to activate SSO (i.e., LDAP):

    Code Block
    usersauthentication.sso.enabledmethod=trueldap

    If you aren't using Apache DS, you may need to alter the attribute values Roller uses to bring in the LDAP data elements.

  2. Alter the security.xml located in the WEB-INF folder of the roller.war file, switching authentication from normal password to LDAP following the instructions given in the comments in that file.  The default Apache DS LDAP password (secret) should of course be changed to that of your LDAP installation.
  3. Start Tomcat and login to your blog with rolleradmin/adminldap (the password here as defined in the roller.ldif file downloaded).  By confirming that your LDAP password is working but your prior database-created one is no longer, you'll know that the LDAP authentication method has being activated.
  4. Go to the Blog Server Administration settings page and click the "Allow New Users?" setting to let other users log in with their LDAP usernames and passwords.  As those other users log in, Roller will present them an opportunity to create their new blogs.
