> this feature, would enable Ofbiz users to authenticate their users using an LDAP. I developed that change in response to a customer request who wanted his employees to use the same passwords they use when openning a windows session.
> the solution was to recreate the same usernames in the Party manager with an unused password. and redirect the authentication to the LDAP when needed. The choice is made in the security.properties file. all parameters needed to connect to the LDAP are there also.
> After authentication all authorizations are taken out from the Party manager. This would give the same feature used by SharePoint, which is called cross privileges
> the change is minor as you would see, but very helpfull for people needing the same feature.
