[Patrick Lockley]

Looking at these

Ldap_host : technical.rnibvocoll.ac.uk
Ldap port : 389
Ldap_bind_dn : CN=xerteadmin,CN=Users,DC=rnibvocoll,DC=ac,DC=uk
Ldap_password : ......
Ldap_base_dn: OU=Technical,DC=rnibvocoll,DC=ac,DC=uk

Only enter one base_dn for now

Try this

OK Patrick here are the ones I use:
Moodle settings

LDAP server settings  
Host URL:     ldap://technical.rnibvocoll.ac.uk
Version :   3
LDAP encoding:  utf-8

Bind settings : 
Distinguished Name:   CN=xerteadmin,CN=Users,DC=rnibvocoll,DC=ac,DC=uk
Password :  Password for bind-user.  

User lookup settings  
Contexts   OU=Technical,DC=rnibvocoll,DC=ac,DC=uk;OU=Non
Technical,DC=rnibvocoll,DC=ac,DC=uk
Search subcontexts   Yes 

I did  get authentication to work using the moodle patch mentioned in
the list.. but it's a bit clunky and gives me problems with  Xerte
management.php 

Cheers
AJ

Ldap bind is usually the root of your AD, something like
dc=rnibcollege,dc=ac,dc=uk the password is usually used if you put an
LDAP string into the ldap bind.

If you post up your moodle settings, or send them to me, i can tell you
what to put where.

I'm not sure if you will have the answer to this, however.....
We've just received an Ubuntu-based server as part of the In-folio
project, and it has Xerte toolkits installed I'm trying to set up LDAP
authentication.. it seems fairly straight forward using management.php
BTW I've got LDAP/AD working in Moodle and on other Ubuntu servers with
Drupal and Moodle)

However, I can't log into the Xerte system with LDAP/Active directory
accounts Looking at recents posts to the list, I'm still confused about
the LDAP bind option Is this a user that needs basic read access to
Active directory, and should this have the corresponding password set in
'LDAP password' ?
Do I need to set up LDAP in another area of Xerte?
