Environment:Confluence 3.5 stand alone, Crowd 2.2, OpenLDAP, Windows Server
From this excellent feature which solved our requirement in Crowd 2.0:
When a user is created in this directory, they can be automatically added as members of existing groups.
To this in 2.2 which no longer solves our requirement:
When a user in this directory authenticates successfully, they can be automatically added as members of existing groups.
The problem for us is that when we create a user through the Confluence user management interface the user is not yet added to "confluence-users" and our Crowd LDAP filters for our Confluence application don't let that user through.
We use Confluence + Crowd + OpenLDAP AND we are running 5 Atlassian application instances (Confluence and JIRA). We use 4 Confluences instances because we have different communities of users which need to be isolated and Confluence does not provide that feature (i.e. the "People Directory" shares everyone with everyone).
I could explain our scheme in detail but it is a bit beyond the scope of this issue.
Suffice it to say we need to add users to groups when they are created through Confluence in an automated way. Crowd 2.0 did this superbly. Crowd 2.2 removed this feature. Can you suggest a way to solve this requirement? How would you do so?
thanks!
Brendan
