[Xerte] Re: LDAP [Scanned]

OK before any responses I now have LDAP working on this install up to a
point which may help others...

1. I noticed than in \website_code\php there was a file named
OLDlogin_library.php so I tried using that instead and LDAP works without
any other changes!

2. However it seems to be getting the username correctly but not the first
name and last name or at least not adding the latter to the logindetails
table. 

So I'll carry on trying to resolve this but any ideas gratefully received
;-)

Cheers
Ron

Hi Ray/Pat
did you resolve this?

I've been trying to get ldap working with an install on Windows with Apache
and ldap is working for moodle and mahara on the same server but XOT won't
play ball. I tracked back through the various threads and tried all the
things I've done successfully on other installs so have been trying the
login_top and testldap.php files Pat attached to this thread.

I get similar results to those reported by Ray below but not the search
failure. e.g.

IN VALID LOGIN
SINGLE HOST
AUTHENTICATION STARTING
AUTHENTICATION FUNCTION STARTS
LDAP CONNECTED
DS IS - Resource id #8
BASEDN IS - OU=etc etc (deleted for security)
FILTER IS - sAMAccountName=rmitchell

SEARCH ATTRIBUTES - Array
(
    [firstname] => givenname
    [lastname] => sn
)
AUTHENTICATION COMPLETE

I don't get a success message and the trouble is if I restore the original
files and try to login I just get the username or password is incorrect
message which it's definitely not.

Any ideas?

Cheers
Ron

Not seeing quotes in the output?

Do you have another OU you could use?

Rename website_code/login_top to back up something

Then put login_top (attached) into website_code

And testldap.php into the root folder

Then go back to index.php and try logging in.

Did a check and disabled firewall temporarily on the server and still
got the same issue.  Im now trying to see if i've missed something in
the install or configuration of the php's.

I ran a vbs script to check ldap was working to see if i could get
anything back:

Const ADS_PROPERTY_CLEAR = 1
Set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://cn=Ray Reeves,OU=Network
Team,DC=solihull,DC=ac,DC=uk")
objUser.GetInfo
Wscript.echo objUser.Get("CN")

And this returned my name, so i know i can communicate with LDAP and to
our DC's.

Obviously the test (switch.txt > index.php) worked fine, is there
anything in the index.php that should be edited that anyone can think of
to point to ldap.  I have tried various changes in the management.php
with bind and base, with no success.


Thanks
Ray

It may be that the firewall is blocking you. Active Directory's LDAP
interface is disabled by default and your institution may have blocked
port
389 and port 636 as a security measure. If LDAP is available is can be
used to gain access to personal email addresses etc., which is why it is
blocked or disabled. I've seen this cause problems with Shibboleth, too.

If you're using a local LDAP directory with IIS, do you know who
provides it?

Regards,
Thomas Rochford

I should have stated before, i'm using a windows iis install, with php
5.3.5 installed.  After going to the PhP website and checking what they
have for LDAP error:

(path, editing php.ini, location of dll's)

I found that all to be ok.  I can't authenticate and get no white
screen, just a message stating my username and password are incorrect.

Hi Ray
Do you have the php-LDAP extension installed?  Check your apache error
log to see where it's failing.

Cheers,

Nathan.
