The Enterprise Portals Report looks at... LDAP support in Liferay

"LDAP servers, such as Microsoft Active Server and OpenLDAP, are also supported through plug-in authenticators, although this requires some fairly advanced editing of configuration files and a very strong knowledge of LDAP queries..."

Liferay launches v4 with new features, but same weaknesses

19-Apr-2006   --  

Last week saw the release of version 4 of the open source Liferay portal. This major new release introduces improved security, enterprise taxonomy, velocity template support, JSR-170 compliance, theme (a.k.a. skin) enhancements, and more documentation. As Enterprise Portal Report readers know, Liferay is comparatively weaker in clustering, personalization, and WebDAV support. Unfortunately these areas were not addressed by the new release.
