Hello everyone,

 

I have searched the so far discussed aspects of LDAP (Active Directory)
authentication for shibboleth but haven't encountered the same issue we
appear to be having.

 

We have two separate domains for staff and student, we too have followed
the excellent installation instructions from Nottingham trent utilising
JASIG CAS and a separate SQL server database for attribute storage.
(Shib 2.0 idp)

The problem I have encountered is that for one reason or another outside
of my control we don't have a global catalogue (:3268) that I can query
using one account for binding. At the moment I can only configure it to
bind to one or the other, also by querying on userPrincipalName we
either have a .staff.x or a .student.x

 

Could anyone suggest how I could query two different LDAP servers with a
common set of credentials in such a case, or alternatively how the JASIG
CAS configuration could be amended to use two sets of credentials to
query two LDAP servers?

 

I appreciate this may be a network configuration issue so any guidance
on adjusting our current setup to accommodate Shib would also be
welcomed as I can forward these recommendations on to our network
administrator.

 

Any responses on or off list appreciated.

 

Thanks,
