font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:blue'>I’ve had two people
feedback on LDAP so far (hence number of login_library bug fixes) but I am not
sure how best to proceed. I have been mulling over making a post installer test
suite – including an LDAP page to help people work out why their settings
don’t like the code. We also have the issue that we can’t predict
how IT literate people installing the code are. I think the installer does a pretty
good job at the moment, though I could see scope for it providing more support
– but these things all take time. It’s also very likely a lot of
people installing the code won’t care for LDAP as they’ll be
authenticating to something else.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

filters do, but the code needs them and they are used in the LDAP filter
function, so I called them LDAP filter 1 and LDAP filter 2. Not the most
original or informative, but again, I plead ignorance on this front. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

"The first LDAP filter is" box to sAMAccountName but found that the
login_library.php file was using the "dn" field to match against. It
was only after working my way back through the Xerte code that I found out why
I could not log on. I had to edit lines 48 and 171 of login_library.php to use
sAMAccountName rather than dn. Similarly lines 8 and 131 refer to
"givenname" whereas our LDAP field is "givenName" so I had
to edit these as well.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
