Hi Sorry. I'm new. I'm trying to install gluu first time. Maybe i'm missing something obvious. I'm trying to get glu working with external openldap user database as authentication source . After installation on ubuntu 14.04 i configured "Cache Refresh", and synchronized: uid,cn,givenName,sn,mail . So far so good. Everything worked out of the box. Then i changed ldap server in "Manage Authentication" to my central openldap . I was under impression, that gluu should bind to my openldap, to check if user provided correct password, then check local DJ ldap for user attributes. From what i see, gluu after successful bind is looking for gluu attributes in this central openldap . Why is that happened ? Do I have to write custom script to authenticate user in external ldap ? If so is there any example how to use JAAS in custom authentication script ? > INFO | jvm 1 | 2015/11/03 00:25:14 | 2015-11-03 00:25:14,314 INFO [org.gluu.oxtrust.action.Authenticator] user uid:tu7 > INFO | jvm 1 | 2015/11/03 00:25:14 | 2015-11-03 00:25:14,363 INFO [org.gluu.oxtrust.action.Authenticator] Authenticating user 'tu7' > INFO | jvm 1 | 2015/11/03 00:25:14 | 2015-11-03 00:25:14,366 ERROR [org.gluu.oxtrust.action.Authenticator] Failed to find user 'tu7' in ldap > INFO | jvm 1 | 2015/11/03 00:25:14 | org.gluu.site.ldap.persistence.exception.EntryPersistenceException: Failed to find entries with baseDN: ou=people,o=@!D6C7.BD1C.AF05.1B96!0001!A6BA.ABD7,o=gluu, filter: (&(&(objectClass=top)(objectClass=gluuPerson))(&(uid=tu7))) > INFO | jvm 1 | 2015/11/03 00:25:14 | at org.gluu.site.ldap.persistence.LdapEntryManager.findEntries(LdapEntryManager.java:318) > INFO | jvm 1 | 2015/11/03 00:25:14 | at org.gluu.site.ldap.persistence.LdapEntryManager.findEntries(LdapEntryManager.java:275) > INFO | jvm 1 | 2015/11/03 00:25:14 | at org.gluu.site.ldap.persistence.LdapEntryManager.findEntries(LdapEntryManager.java:256) > INFO | jvm 1 | 2015/11/03 00:25:14 | at org.gluu.oxtrust.ldap.service.AuthenticationService.getUserByUid(AuthenticationService.java:250) > INFO | jvm 1 | 2015/11/03 00:25:14 | at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) > INFO | jvm 1 | 2015/11/03 00:25:14 | at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:57) > INFO | jvm 1 | 2015/11/03 00:25:14 | at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) > INFO | jvm 1 | 2015/11/03 00:25:14 | at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:606) > INFO | jvm 1 | 2015/11/03 00:25:14 | at org.jboss.seam.util.Reflections.invoke(Reflections.java:22) > ....

Hello Marek, Congratulations! >> Then i changed ldap server in "Manage Authentication" to my central openldap . I was under impression, that gluu should bind to my openldap, to check if user provided correct password, then check local DJ ldap for user attributes. From what i see, gluu after successful bind is looking for gluu attributes in this central openldap . Why is that happened ? Take a look at [this](http://ox.gluu.org/doku.php? id=oxtrust:cache_refresh&s[]=cache&s[]=refresh) unofficial doc, does it make any sense? If not, please let us know what confusing you; we will improve the doc. >> INFO | jvm 1 | 2015/11/03 00:25:14 | 2015-11-03 00:25:14,366 ERROR [org.gluu.oxtrust.action.Authenticator] Failed to find user 'tu7' in ldap >> INFO | jvm 1 | 2015/11/03 00:25:14 | Let's check if this user 'tu7' is available in Gluu's interal LDAP or not.
