InstructionsIf you do not wish Confluence to retrieve any of your LDAP groups and display them inside Confluence then you can do this by specifying a dummy value for the groupSearchFilter filter in your atlassian-user.xml file. That is, update your atlassian-user.xml file with the following: <groupSearchFilter>(objectClass=dummyValue)</groupSearchFilter> An example atlassian-user.xml file: <baseUserNamespace>cn=users,dc=ad,dc=atlassian,dc=com</baseUserNamespace> <baseGroupNamespace>ou=groups,dc=ad,dc=atlassian,dc=com</baseGroupNamespace> <usernameAttribute>sAMAccountName</usernameAttribute> <userSearchFilter>(objectClass=user)</userSearchFilter> <firstnameAttribute>givenname</firstnameAttribute> <surnameAttribute>sn</surnameAttribute> <emailAttribute>mail</emailAttribute> <groupnameAttribute>cn</groupnameAttribute> <groupSearchFilter>(objectClass=dummyValue)</groupSearchFilter> <membershipAttribute>member</membershipAttribute> <userSearchAllDepths>false</userSearchAllDepths> <groupSearchAllDepths>false</groupSearchAllDepths> Please note: You will still have to provide a valid LDAP DN for baseGroupNamespace. Confluence still performs a search for groups quite frequently, so you should use a DN without many child nodes, like an individual user DN. |
