Configuring LDAP settings

[ahar]

Hi,
Am I correct in thinking that once I configure my LDAP settings using the bin/omero config set omero.ldap... commands, they'll appear in the etc/omero.properties file and I'll get the LDAP search in the web interface after an omero server restart?

I went though the LDAP configuration commands but the omero.properties file doesn't appear to have changed. The command prompt had admin rights. Any ideas?
Thanks

No, etc/omero.properties will not change. The properties will be updated in etc/grid/config.xml in 4.2.0. Are you using 4.2.0?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. It's fresh installation of 4.2.0 that I'm using.
I can see the settings that I've configured are now in etc/grid/config.xml but I'm not getting the LDAP search function in the web admin. Will that only appear if I've correctly configured the settings and it can bind to the LDAP server or should I at least be able to see the the Search option after setting omero.ldap.config to "true"?
Many thanks

If you have your properties set you should be able to attempt a login as a user that matches the LDAP credentials you've specified. There's no LDAP search functionality in the WebAdmin in Beta 4.2.0.

Oh I see. I've misunderstood how it operates. I thought LDAP users had to first be added through web admin. I guess the instructions at webadmin/help/section_4_20.html haven't been updated yet.
I should be able to get it working from here...
Thanks
