Ldap connection using UID

Hi, edulm01

From the last line of your post, something seems to be truncated? Also, I'm not sure exactly what your question is. I think you want to know how to edit the LDAP configuration.

There is a small amount of documentation on this process in the online help which you can see at this URL

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/RoboHelp/8.0/RoboHelpServer/WS9DE2BAEA-1C51-4a90-8252-039D750230C0.html

The xml file that is used to edit the changes is called robohelp_server.properties and can be found along this path:

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp Server 8\WEB-INF

Among other things, you will see this listing:

#To use LDAP authentication , uncomment the following lines and specify ldap details of your organization
#authtype = ldap
#ldapURL = ldap://ldapserver:389
#usersearchbase = ou=people,o=org
#rolesearchbase = ou=groups,o=org
#useridkey = uid
#rolename = cn
#rolesearch = uniqueMember

Having said that, it should be noted that what I know about LDAP is dangerous so I'm not sure I can help beyond this. If you have further questions, you might also want to attach your Tomcat logs and I will try to get Adobe Engineers to review them in case any errors jump out.

Thanks
