Liferay 6.2 - Installations - LDAP integration

Liferay 6.2 - LDAP Integration
*****************************

Liferay 6.2 has no properties files ! Which were there until previous version. I guess now these are part of database tables.

So, while I was trying to integrate my server with LDAP server (TDS) I could configure the LDAP using the Control panel of liferay. And server was able to connect to LDAP.

But due to some issue I was not able to login using any of my ldap users or the default portal user. I was not able to login to the portal.

In earlier version there was a property file named, portal-ext.properties which used to hold those ldap specific values. But this doesnt exist in Liferay 6.2.

While looking at database ( portal database ), I found a table named portalpreferences, which has those ldap properties.

SELECT preferences FROM lportal.portalpreferences where portalPreferencesId = 10160


So, I changed the values of the parameters,
ldap.auth.enabled and ldap.auth.enabled ( which are two check boxes on the LDAP configuration page needs to be checked to enable LDAP login ) to false.

And that's it.

It worked for me, hope it helps you. This is still work under progress and I am looking to complete this LDAP connectivity with Liferay 6.2. So will keep updating this post.

WebSphere Portal - Authoring Template - Ephox error IWKAP0009E: Servlet not enabled.

We upgraded our portal server to use the latest Ephox editor because the old version was giving logs of Java Security errors.

We applied the fix pack (? - will add exact number later ! ).

And restarted the server but was getting strange error while clicking on "New" button in WCM. On click it will show "IWKAP0009E: Servlet not enabled."

After googling came across this article which is exactly the problem we had and it we resolved following it...

Another tech note which also suggests to do the same thing...

Aggregation Vs Composition - OOD Concept

I have a very basic example to understand aggregation / composition.

And over a time, thinking about from somewhere I have found a very profound example to explain both concept.

Composition - A composition in which objects forms an entity and that entity cant remain complete if one of the object is removed.

Example : To understand composition, think of a medicinal tablet, which might be made of many elements in various proposition but you cant remove one easily and if you remove one it's wont be same tablet / medicine anymore.

Aggregation - A collection of objects which are loosely connected and can be easily replaces / removed and can be used separately and can be modified easily.

Example : There can be many but I think a car is best one ! One can modify anything in car / replace objects. One can change tire / change color, change wipers / even change engines. And still car will work ! And everything is so loosely coupled that it can be changed easily.
