This is anecdotal and from a poor memory but a while back I was onsite at a
university doing a new install and used the latest 2.1 code at the time and
all was straightforward installing and testing via guest authentication.
Then we hooked up ldap and login worked but I seem to recall the users first
name and last name wasn't showing top right of the interface or at least
there was something ldap related not working correctly. I had limited time
and couldn't find the cause quickly but tried an earlier revision of 2.1
which had worked without problem elsewhere and that resolved the issue.

So there might be an issue with the ldap stuff in current 2.1. I never have
regular access to the commonly used type of Windows ldap server and
configuration to try replicating this kind of issue.

No, I've not seen it before either. She mailed me directly, and I asked her
to mail the lists / forums as I didn't know what was up. It looks like
firstname surname are not getting harvested from the ldap lookup. But I
don't know how to troubleshoot that.

Hi,

Can anyone on this advise Judith on her LDAP issues? Here initial email
read:

We have just installed a version of Xerte which authenticates via LDAP.
When I try to share a project I am getting a message "No one found with
those details."  I have looked at users in the admin area and it seems that
the first and surnames are not being added to the system (see attached
image).  Can anyone guide me to putting this right?
Best wishes
Judith

Dear John
Thank you for your email. I attach an image of the settings.  I notice that
we do not have the LDAP second filter set.  Could this be the problem or do
we need to use the LDAP password and bind areas?
Best wishes
Judith
