# Configuring a Read-Only LDAP User Store
-Follow the given steps to configure a read-only LDAP/AD as the primary user store:
+It is assumed that you have already setup your read-only LDAP user store. Follow the given steps to configure it as the primary user store in WSO2 API Manager:
- [Step 1: Setting up the read-only LDAP/AD user store manager](#step-1-setting-up-the-read-only-ldapad-user-store-manager)
- [Step 2: Updating the system administrator](#step-2-updating-the-system-administrator)

+ API Manager is compatible with multiple user stores. Instead of using the embedded user store, you can set your own user store as the primary user store.
+
+## Step 1: Setting up the read-only LDAP/AD user store manager
+
+The following are the minimum configurations that are required to configure the Read-only LDAP userstore manager.
+
+
+
+
+
+type |
+userstore Type |
+This indicates the type of userstore manager that we are using. For Read-only LDAP userstore manager, this value
+should be read_only_ldap_unique_id.
+ |
+
+
+base_dn |
+User Search Base |
+This is the DN of the context or object under which the user entries are stored in the userstore. When the userstore searches for users, it will start from this location of the directory.
+Sample values: ou=Users,dc=wso2,dc=org |
+
+
+
+
+Following are the minimum userstore properties that are required to configure the Read-only LDAP userstore manager.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ConnectionURL |
+connection_url |
+Connection URL |
+This is the connection URL to the user store server.
+Sample values:
+ldap://10.100.1.100:389
+ldaps://10.100.1.102:639
+
+If you are connecting over ldaps (secured LDAP).
+you need to import the certificate of the userstore to <​APIM_HOME>/repository/resources/security/client-truststore.jks . For information on how to add certificates to the truststore and how keystores are configured and used in a system, see
+Using asymmetric encryption
+
+If LDAP connection pooling is used, see enable connection pooling for LDAPS connections.
+ |
+
+
+ConnectionName |
+connection_name |
+Connection Name |
+This is the username used to connect to the userstore and perform various operations. This user does not need to be an administrator in the userstore or have an administrator role in the WSO2 product that you are using, but this user must have permissions to read the user list and users' attributes and to perform search operations on the userstore. The value you specify is used as the DN (Distinguish Name) attribute of the user who has sufficient permissions to perform operations on users and roles in LDAP.
+This property is mandatory.
+Sample values: uid=admin,ou=system |
+
+
+ConnectionPassword |
+connection_password |
+Connection Password |
+Password for the ConnectionName user |
+
+
+
+
+Replace the default `user_store` configuration in the `/repository/conf/deployment.toml
+` file, as per your ldap server configuration. A sample configuration is given below.
+
+``` toml
+[user_store]
+type = "read_only_ldap_unique_id"
+base_dn = "ou=system"
+connection_url = "ldap://localhost:10389"
+connection_name = "uid=admin,ou=system"
+connection_password = "admin"
+```
+Apart from the properties mentioned above, WSO2 API Manager also supports advanced LDAP configurations.
+
+---
+
+### Properties used in read-only LDAP userstore manager
+
+Any of the following properties can be configured for the `PRIMARY` userstore by adding them as follows to
+`/repository/conf/deployment.toml`.
+
+``` toml
+[user_store]
+ =
+```
+For example :
+
+``` toml
+[user_store]
+read_groups = true
+```
+
+!!! tip
+ The properties given below can also be configured for a secondary userstore through the management console.

+In this case, the search operation only provides the objects created from the person object class. |
+
+
+UserDNPattern |
+user_dn_pattern |
+User DN Pattern |
+This is the pattern for the user's DN, which can be defined to improve the search. When there are many user entries in the LDAP userstore, defining a UserDNPattern provides more impact on performances as the LDAP does not have to travel through the entire tree to find users.
+Sample values: uid={0},ou=Users,dc=wso2,dc=org |
+
+
+DisplayNameAttribute |
+display_name_attribute |
+Display name attribute |
+This is an optional property. The Display Name Attribute is the name by which users will be listed when you list users in the management console.
+ Default: blank |
+
+

+
+
+GroupEntryObjectClass |
+group_entry_object_class |
+Group Entry Object Class |
+Object class used to construct group entries.
+Default: groupOfNames |

+This is the filtering criteria for searching group entries in the userstore. This query or filter is used when doing search operations on groups with different search attributes.
+Default: ((objectClass=groupOfNames)) In this case, the search operation only provides the objects created from the
+groupOfName object class. |
+
+
+RoleDNPattern |
+role_dn_pattern |
+Role DN Pattern |
+This denotes the pattern for the group's DN which can be defined to improve the search. When there are many group entries in the LDAP userstore, defining a RoleDNPattern provides more impact on performances as the LDAP does not have to traverse through the entire tree to find the group.
+Sample values: cn={0},ou=Groups,dc=wso2,dc=org |
+
+
+MembershipAttribute |
+membership_attribute_range |
+Membership Attribute |

+This defines whether the backlink support is enabled. If you are using MemberOfAttribute attribute, this should be set to true .
+
Default : false |
+
+
+UsernameJavaRegEx |
+username_java_regex |
+Username RegEx (Java) |
+This is the regular expression used by the back-end components for username validation. By default, strings with non-empty characters have a length of 3 to 30 allowed. You can provide ranges of alphabets, numbers, and ASCII values in the RegEx properties.
+Default: [a-zA-Z0-9._\-|//]{3,30}$ |

+PasswordJavaRegEx |
+password_java_regex |
+Password RegEx (Java) |
+The regular expression used by the back-end components for password validation. By default, strings with non-empty characters have a length of 5 to 30 allowed. You can provide ranges of alphabets, numbers, and ASCII values in the RegEx properties.
+Default: ^[\S]{5,30}$ |
+
+
+PasswordJava ScriptRegEx |
+password_java _script_regex |
+Password RegEx (Javascript) |

+
+
+SCIMEnabled |
+scim_enabled |
+Enable SCIM |
+This is to configure whether user store is supported for SCIM provisioning.
+
+Possible values:

+False: User does not store support for SCIM provisioning.
+
+Default: true |
+
+
+PasswordHashMethod |
+password_hash_method |
+Password Hashing Algorithm |
+Specifies the Password Hashing Algorithm used the hash the password before storing in the userstore
+Possible values:
+SHA - Uses SHA digest method. SHA-1, SHA-256
+MD5 - Uses MD 5 digest method.
+PLAIN_TEXT - Plain text passwords.(Default)
+If you configure this as SHA, it is considered as SHA-1. It is always better to configure algorithm with a higher bit value as the digest bit size would be increased.
+
+Most of the LDAP servers (such as OpenLdap, OpenDJ, AD, ApacheDS and etc.) are supported to store passwords as salted hashed values (SSHA).
+Therefore, WSO2 API Manager just wants to feed passwords into the connected userstore as a plain text value. Then LDAP userstore can store them as a salted hashed value. To feed the plain text into the LDAP server, you need to set PasswordHashMethod to “PLAIN_TEXT”
+However, if your LDAP does not support storing user passwords as hashed values, you can configure the WSO2 API Manager to hash the password and then feed the hashed password into the LDAP server. For this, you need to configure the PasswordHashMethod property with SHA (SHA-1), SHA-256, or SHA-512. The WSO2 API Manager cannot create a salted hashed password (SSHA) to feed into the LDAP. |
+
+
+MultiAttribute Separator |
+multi_attribute _separator |
+Multiple Attribute Separator |
+This property is used to define a character to separate multiple attributes. This ensures that it will not appear as part of a claim value. Normally “,” is used to separate multiple attributes, but you can define ",,," or "..." or a similar character sequence.
+Default: “,” |
+
+
+MaxUserName ListLength |
+max_user_name _list_length |
+Maximum User List Length |
+This controls the number of users listed in the userstore of WSO2 API Manager. This is useful when you have a large number of users and don't want to list them all. Setting this property to 0 displays all users.
+Default: 100
+In some userstores, there are policies to limit the number of records that can be returned from the query. Setting the value to 0 will list the maximum results returned by the userstore. If you need to increase this, you need to set it in the userstore level.
+Eg : Active directory has the MaxPageSize property with the default value as 1000. |
+
+
+MaxRoleName ListLength |
+max_role_name_ list_length |
+Maximum Role List Length |
+This controls the number of roles listed in the userstore of WSO2 API Manager. This is useful when you have a large number of roles and don't want to list them all. Setting this property to 0 displays all roles.
+ Default: 100
+In some userstores, there are policies to limit the number of records that can be returned from the query. Setting the value to 0 will list the maximum results returned by the userstore. If you need to increase this, you need to set it in the userstore level.

+
+
+kdcEnabled |
+kdc_enabled |
+Enable KDC |
+If your userstore is capable of acting as a Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) and if you prefer to enable it, set this property to true .
+Default: false |
+
+
+UserRoles CacheEnabled |
+user_roles_ cache_enabled |
+Enable User Role Cache |
+This is to indicate whether to cache the role list of a user.
+Default: true
+
+Possible values:
+false: Set it to false if the user roles are changed by external means and those changes should be instantly reflected in the Carbon instance.
+
+Default: true
|
+
+
+Connection PoolingEnabled |
+connection_ pooling_enabled |
+Enable LDAP Connection Pooling |
+Defines whether LDAP connection pooling is enabled
+Possible values:
+True: Enables connection pooling. Enabling it will improve the performance.
+False: Disables connection pooling
+
+Default: false
|
+
+
+LDAPConnectionTimeout |
+ldap_connection_timeout |
+LDAP Connection Timeout |
+Timeout in making the initial LDAP connection. This is configured in milliseconds. Default: 5000 |
+
+
+ReadTimeout |
+read_timeout |
+LDAP Read Timeout |
+The value of this property is the read timeout in milliseconds for LDAP operations. If the LDAP provider cannot get an LDAP response within that period, it aborts the read attempt. The integer should be greater than zero. An integer less than or equal to zero indicates that no read timeout is specified, which is equivalent to waiting for the response infinitely until it is received.
+
+Default: not configured |
+
+
+Membership AttributeRange |
+membership_ attribute_range |
+Membership Attribute Range |
+This is to define the maximum users of role returned by the LDAP/AD userstore. This does not depend on the max page size of the userstore.

-Type of the user store manager that we are using. For Read-only LDAP user store manager this value
-should be read_only_ldap.
- |
-
-
-base_dn |
-User Search Base |

-Sample values: ou=Users,dc=wso2,dc=org |
-
-
-
-
-Following are the minimum user store properties that are needed to be provided to configure Read-only LDAP user store manager.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-ConnectionURL |
-connection_url |

-ldap://10.100.1.100:389
-ldaps://10.100.1.102:639
-
-If you are connecting over ldaps (secured LDAP)
-Need to import the certificate of user store to the client-truststore.jks of the WSO2 product. For information on how to add certificates to the truststore and how keystores are configured and used in a system, see Using Asymmetric Encryption.
-Using asymmetric encryption
-
-If LDAP connection pooling is used, see enable connection pooling for LDAPS connections.
- |
-
-
-ConnectionName |
-connection_name |

This user does not need to be an administrator in the user store or have an administrator role in the WSO2 product that you are using, but this user MUST have permissions to read the user list and users' attributes and to perform search operations on the user store. The value you specify is used as the DN (Distinguish Name) attribute of the user who has sufficient permissions to perform operations on users and roles in LDAP
- This property is mandatory.
-Sample values: uid=admin,ou=system |
-
-
-ConnectionPassword |
-connection_password |

-
-
- UserDNPattern |
- user_dn_pattern |

- MD5 - Uses MD 5 digest method.
- PLAIN_TEXT - Plain text passwords.(Default)
- If you just configure as SHA, It is considered as SHA-1, It is always better to configure algorithm with higher bit value as digest bit size would be increased.
-
- Most of the LDAP servers (such as OpenLDAP, OpenDJ, AD, ApacheDS and etc..) are supported to store password as salted hashed values (SSHA)
- Therefore WSO2IS server just wants to feed password into the connected user store as a plain text value. Then LDAP user store can store them as salted hashed value. To feed the plain text into the LDAP server, you need to set PasswordHashMethod to “PLAIN_TEXT”
- But; if your LDAP does not support to store user password as hashed values. You can configure WSO2 server to hash the password and feeds the hashed password into the LDAP server. Then you need to configure PasswordHashMethod property with SHA (SHA-1), SHA-256, SHA-512. Please note WSO2 server cannot create a salted hashed password (SSHA) to feed into the LDAP. |

The **admin** user is the super tenant that will be able to manage all other users, roles, and permissions in the system by using the management console of the product. Therefore, the user that should have admin permissions is required to be stored in the userstore when you start the system for the first time. Since the LDAP userstore can be written to, you have the option of creating a new admin user in the userstore when you start the system for the first time. Alternatively, you can also use a user ID that already exists in the LDAP.
