Error creating bean with name springSecurityFilterChain No configuration setting found for key security when starting Para with LDAP config

Question

I'm trying the product Para and Scoold. When I launch Para ( https://github.com/Erudika/para ) with the default configuration, it works fine. When I add the configuration for LDAP and I launch Para, then I get the exception below. Is there a missing configuration among the LDAP settings?

This is the default configuration

# the name of the root app
para.app_name = "Para"
# or set it to 'production'
para.env = "embedded"
# if true, users can be created without verifying their emails
para.security.allow_unverified_emails = false
# if hosting multiple apps on Para, set this to false
para.clients_can_access_root_app = true
# if false caching is disabled
para.cache_enabled = true
# root app secret, used for token generation, should be a random string
para.app_secret_key = "b8db69a25553f2ce134909f164665263"
# enable API request signature verification
para.security.api_security = true
# the node number from 1 to 1024, used for distributed ID generation
para.worker_id = 1

This is the LDAP configuration added to the default one

#URL of the LDAP server, including scheme and port.
para.security.ldap.server_url = ldap://pippo.pluto.local:389


#The base DN, aka domain.
para.security.ldap.base_dn = ou=pippo,dc=pippo,dc=local



#The initial bind DN for a user with search privileges. The value of this property cannot contain whitespaces. Those will automatically be escaped with %20. Usually this value is left blank
para.security.ldap.bind_dn =cn=pippo,ou=Admin


#The password for a user with search privileges. Usually this value is left blank.
para.security.ldap.bind_pass = pippi

This is the exception

Answer 1

You have a configuration problem. 1. Configuration values should be in quotes, eg:

para.security.ldap.server_url = "ldap://pippo.pluto.local:389"

2. LDAP configuration properties belong in the configuration file for Scoold.
3. Para is not initialized, open GET /v1/_setup in your browser.

The steps to run both Para and Scoold locally are these:

1. run Para locally on port 8080 and initialize it with GET localhost:8080/v1/_setup
2. Save the access keys for the root Para app somewhere safe, you'll need them to configure Para CLI tool below
3. Create a new directory for Scoold containing its own dedicated application.conf and configure it to connect to Para on port 8080
4. Start Scoold with java -jar -Dserver.port=8000 -Dconfig.file=./application.conf scoold.jar OR mvn spring-boot:run
5. Open http://localhost:8000 in your browser

Use the Para CLI tool to create a separate app for Scoold:

$ npm install -g para-cli
# run setup and enter the keys for the root app and endpoint 'http://localhost:8080'
$ para-cli setup
$ para-cli ping
$ para-cli new-app "scoold" --name "Scoold"

Finally, add the LDAP configuration to scoold_folder/application.conf and restart Scoold.
