<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Thanks for the info. Indeed the hardcoded
filter </font><font size=3 color=blue face="Verdana">'sAMAccountName' was
the problem. In my case the filter attribute is 'cn'. I think it depends
on the ldap template you use. So I guess it would make sense to add the
filter attribute to the variable settings in the setup. Even more because
some people perhaps would like to use the email-address or another attribute
for authentication.</font>
<br><font size=3 color=blue face="Verdana">Also the input field for the
username does not allow more than 12 letters. In my case this is too short.</font>

<br><font size=3 color=#004080 face="Calibri">I’ll let Pat chime in here,
but it would definitely be worthwhile trying this with the pre-release
version of toolkits we now have ready for final testing out in the community.
We can send you the files, or make a link available. If others have access
to a server and would like to try the pre-release version please let us
know. We’d like to give a people a chance to discover any issues there
might be in rolling this out to disparate systems,</font>
<br><font size=3 color=#004080 face="Calibri"> </font>
<br><font size=3 color=#004080 face="Calibri">I’ll ask Pat to zip it all
up and put some installation instructions together. We would like to have
version 1.0 completed by the end of this week, so any final feedback would
be brilliant,</font>

<br><font size=3 face="Arial">Dear List,</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">
<br>
</font><font size=3 face="Arial"><br>
I installed toolkits 0.9 from the website in my local XAMPP. I also have
a working locale installation of OpenLDAP (Mac OS X). The structure is
as follows:</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> <br>
</font><font size=3 face="Arial"><br>
dc=example,dc=com</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> </font><font size=3 face="Arial"><br>
ou=people</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> </font><font size=3 face="Arial"><br>
cn=user1</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">
<br>
</font><font size=3 face="Arial"><br>
In Xerte I use the following settings:</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">
<br>
</font><font size=3 face="Arial"><br>
$site->ldap_host = "ldap://localhost";</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">
</font><font size=3 face="Arial"><br>
$site->ldap_port = 389;</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> <br>
</font><font size=3 face="Arial"><br>
$site->bind_pwd="supersecret";</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">
</font><font size=3 face="Arial"><br>
$site->basedn="dc=example,dc=com";</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">
</font><font size=3 face="Arial"><br>
$site->bind_dn = 'cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com';</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">
<br>
</font><font size=3 face="Arial"><br>
When I try to login with "user1" Xerte it tells me: "Sorry
that password combination was not correct". <br>
I think Xerte doesn't know which attribute to look for the username?!</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">
