[Using Sakai] ldap question

[Anders Nordkvist]

Thanks for answering Steve!
That sounds like a plausible solution but how can I implement it? Is there some webpage that describes something similar?

One way would be to have a process that turns that user into an internal user, then disables their account to prevent them logging in. They can still be removed from sites as normal.

This will allow you to continue to map the user did (jsmith26) onto the uuid, which is what the data is stored against, and look it up in the database.

cheers,
Steve

Hi everyone,

We in Skövde, Sweden, have sakai 2.9.x and use ldap for integrating users into Sakai from our Active Directory. When a user quit his/hers courses and some time has passed he or she will be removed and cannot login to Sakai anymore. The problem Is that all data from assignments that the student becomes unreachable because the student isn’t in the system anymore. I know that all information is still in Sakai but you can’t get it because the ldap connection is broken. Does anyone know how to in an easy way (if possible) get to the information? When I search in the assignment tables in the database on one of the removed students I can’t find any human readable paths to the information, everything is in binary stored in the filesystem. I have also looked for tables that store ldap information in Sakai database (mysql) but couldn’t find any. I suppose everything is stored in memory, if this is the case where can I see this?
