[Exist-development] How to enable LDAP on exist-db stand-alone server

[Thomas Mo <tm...@cm...>]

Hi there,

I am new to exist-db and I am trying to configure exist-db to support
LDAP. I am running exist in the following environment:
- stand-alone mode by calling exist/bin/server.bat
- windows XP

I have looked at the exist LDAP security Manager document "
http://exist-db.org/ldap-security.html", but I could not make it to work.
Below is what I have tried:
- Placed the following security element as a child of db-connection into
file eXist/conf.xml
  <security class="org.exist.security.LDAPSecurityManager" />
- Specify the properties "security.ldap.connection.url",
"security.ldap.dn.user", and "security.ldap.dn.group" in my windows system
variables

However, when I starting it up, I am getting the following error message:
An exception occurred while launching the server: database instance 'exist'
is not available
org.exist.EXistException: database instance 'exist' is not available
        at org.exist.storage.BrokerPool.getInstance(BrokerPool.java:286)
        at org.exist.storage.BrokerPool.getInstance(BrokerPool.java:271)
        at org.exist.StandaloneServer.run(StandaloneServer.java:180)
        at org.exist.StandaloneServer.main(StandaloneServer.java:596)

        at org.exist.start.Main.run(Main.java:407)
        at org.exist.start.Main.main(Main.java:59)

Could anybody help me resolve this issue please? Or could you please point
me to a more detail documentation? I could not found a step-by-step
configuration doc on how to enable LDAP in eXist-db.

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

Check exist.log file, it should give you more information. This one
telling that exist can't be started for some reason.
