[Resolved] Sync between ldap user and owncloud user

Server
1

Hello
Runing Owncloud 10.9.1 on Ubuntu server
Having a new openldap server on another Ubuntu server

I have some “local” Owncloud user with data stored for each user.
I have creat the same user in the openldap

I have installed the owncloud-ldap app and it works.
It is possible to log in in owncloud with the ldap user and credential.
=> but it creat a new user account in owncloud instead of login in the existing account.

Is it possible to have the same Owncloud account for one user but :

  • the user login in with ldap in normal case (with ldap paswword)
  • in case of ldap failure, the user is able to login in owncloud using the “local” password

Thanks for reply

Hi,

no, it’s not possible to have the same user both in LDAP and in the local Database.

If case you expect your LDAP failing - you can setup a backup LDAP server for the failover.

Ok thanks for the clear reply.

So I guess I should have all user in the ldap except maybe a admin account in the owncloud local database?

Yes, that is how it’s usually done.

You can add LDAP users in local groups as well, for example the LDAP user oc_admin in the local “admin” group and give him admin privileges. Depends on your needs :slight_smile:

Best Regards
