Cheers got it working now it was just the bottom 2  filter fields I
stopped putting 2 filter in and its now working fine.

All our ad is the same so wouldn't need to $$$ them.

I'm not an ldap expert 

So a few things appear

Do you need the ldap:// prefix?

The space after the $$$ on line 4

........

Sorry, you don't need to $$$ the filters, it assumes they are the same.

So, erm, to save face, do people need separate LDAP filters for
different hosts. I can see a logic they might as well be able to set it?

Does any other data needed to be entered as I have tried this and it
seems to break it and does not allow anyone to log on.

I imputed exactly this into the LDAP settings in the admin page, and the
same for all options:

ldap://gc-***.gc.grantham.ac.uk$$$ ldap://gc-***.gc.grantham.ac.uk

389$$$389

password$$$password

CN=adminuser,CN=Users,DC=gc,DC=grantham,DC=ac,DC=uk$$$
CN=adminuser,CN=Users,DC=gc,DC=grantham,DC=ac,DC=uk

OU=Users,OU=College,OU=InterJigsaw,DC=gc,DC=
Organisation,DC=ac,DC=uk$$$OU=Users,OU=Remote,OU=InterJigsaw,DC=gc,DC=
Organisation,DC=ac,DC=uk

sAMAccountName$$$ sAMAccountName

cn=$$$cn=

have removed some stuff for security J

still does not work L

unless I'm being stupid which is probably what I'm doing.

Hello,

Each value for each item in the ldap query needs to be separated by the
$$$ delimiter.

So, adding the values in their entirety 

ldap_host_1$$$ldap_host_2

ldap_port_1$$$ldap_port_2

bind_pwd_1$$$bind_pwd_2

basedn_1$$$basedn_2

bind_dn_1$$$bind_dn_2

If you have two sites you need to provide 2 complete sets of data, even
if 1 and 2 are the same.

Just tried it here and it's working.

Thanks

Pat

I have got xerte up and running on our moodle box and it is running no
problems. The only problem I have is the ldap settings.

The LDAP is working fine but I can only get it to work with one  OU
container.

We have 1 main site container called users that has separate containers
beneath it and if I select this in the LDAP base all the users in the
container beneath can log onto xerte.

If I select just 1 container in LDAP base this also works just for the
users in the selected OU container.

Now my problem is we have 1 main site in AD called COLLEGE and 1 other
site on the AD called REMOTE 

I need to add both of these to work in xerte to pull the users from both
different OU containers.

I have tried this on the LDAP settings from the admin page but I am used
to using the separator as ; but I have also tried this with $$$ as the
separator and neither work.

I have tried the following:

OU=Users,OU=College,OU=InterJigsaw,DC=gc,DC=
Organisation,DC=ac,DC=uk;OU=Users,OU=Remote,OU=InterJigsaw,DC=gc,DC=
Organisation,DC=ac,DC=uk

OU=Users,OU=College,OU=InterJigsaw,DC=gc,DC=
Organisation,DC=ac,DC=uk$$$OU=Users,OU=Remote,OU=InterJigsaw,DC=gc,DC=
Organisation,DC=ac,DC=uk

OU=Users,OU=College,OU=InterJigsaw,DC=gc,DC= Organisation,DC=ac,DC=uk
$$$ OU=Users,OU=Remote,OU=InterJigsaw,DC=gc,DC= Organisation,DC=ac,DC=uk

And I have also tried doing this in each section like the following:

HOST$$$HOST

PORT$$$PORT

PASSWORD$$PASSWORD

BASE$$$BASE

If I just have 1 it works fine but if I add another container it stops
working?????

Anyone have any info onto how to get this working.

Many thanks
