Ldap Authentication patch

[lucor]

Hi all,
first off thanks for the great product

In attachement you may find a patch to enable OpenGoo to authenticate against a lpad server.
To apply it you need:
- extract the patch in the OpenGoo root
- install the PEAR::Net_LDAP2 package under the OPENGOO_ROOT/library/PEAR folder
- copy the ldap.config.example.php in  ldap.config.php and modify it in according with your ldap server settings.
- create the users you want to allow to login in OpenGoo.

Hope this helps 

Luca

Great! I'll try to make it into a plugin and upload it to the plugins section. Of course you will get all the credit

I need help.

I can't get this to work... 

Here is what I did so far:

- Downloaded and extracted the patch in my OpenGoo Root directory.
- I placed every file in the patch into the right folders.
- Downloaded PEAR Net_LDAP2 v2.0.6.
- Extracted the content of Net_LDAP2 to the following directories:
       * LDAP2.php --> opengoo_root/library/PEAR/
       * LDAP2 folder --> opengoo_root/library/PEAR/Net
- Configured opengoo_root/config/ldap.config.php with the following settings:

 // The configuration array:
  $config_ldap = array (
      'basedn'    => 'cn=users,dc=serveur1,dc=dct,dc=com',
      'starttls'  => false,
      'port'      => 389,
      'version' => 3,
      'binddn'    => '',   
      'bindpw'    => '',
      'host'      => 'serveur1.dct.com',
      'uid'       => 'uid' //Change in according with your settings to match the userid entry
  );

I was able to connect to my LDAP tree using those settings in ldapbrowser so I think those settings are correct.

        *In OpenGoo, I created a user whose id is the thing as its uid in the LDAP tree.
        * Restarted my web server.

Now, when I login with any username (local to OpenGoo or LDAP based), I only get a blank white page. And when I try to login with a username that does not exist in OpenGoo nor in LDAP, I get the "Failed to log you in" error message.

What am I doing wrong?

I can I debug this? I don't get any errors in LDAP.

I really hope someone can help me with this... OpenGoo seems to be a great product but we really need a solution that can bind to our LDAP server.

Hi,

  Create the user in opengoo (use the LDAP username and allow the system to create random password. Infact this random password is not going to be used for authentication) using admin user before enabling LDAP. If you enable LDAP authentication before the user entry created in opengoo then the login will fail.

so the order shd be,

1) Create User in Opengoo
2) Enable LDAP
3) Login to opengoo

Thanks,
Muruges

Did you get this to work? I have the same error as you.. Blank white page when trying to login with a user that exists in ldap.

Yes, I was able to get this to work.

This post was also very helpful: http://forums.opengoo.org/index.php?topic=2821.0

You will want to make sure that the LDAP2.php and LDAP2 folder are located in the OPENGOOROOT/library/PEAR/Net folder.

Hope this helps...

Ok, some progress but not quite there. Now i only get the red error.

My LDAP conf:

  // The configuration array:
  $config_ldap = array (
      'starttls'  => false,
      'port'      => 389,
      'version' => 3,
      'binddn'    => '',
      'bindpw'    => '',
      'basedn'    => 'cn=users,dc=server,dc=xxxxx,dc=se',
      'host'      => 'server.xxxxx.se',
      'uid'       => 'uid' //Change in according with your settings to match the userid entry
  );
  return true;

?>

I get nothing at all in my logfile (Password Service server Log) on my OS X Server machine  (LDAP-server)

If you use an LDAP browsing utility (such as LDAPBrowser), are you able to browse your LDAP tree with those settings?

[sussox]

Yups, works fine..

[Hitman]

What is you RED error?

[sussox]

only "Failed to log you in. Please check your login data and try again"

using the ldap uid as login and the correct password. But i get no trace of a login in the ldap-log

Check in OPENGOOROOT/cache/log.php to see if there is any file missing or other errors.

Hi
we are currenty looking for a project life opengoo and this software seems promising, but we will need ldap support and i am not sure how this "patch" works.
Does it import users from my LDAP Server to the opengoo Database or will i have to create / import each user? Can i map groups from the LDAP Server to groups in OpenGoo?
If this is possible i can start evaluating the whole thing.
