LDAP authentication to MRBS on linux

[prashant47]

hi
I am trying to authenticate mrbs with ldap on my machine having ubuntu-12.04. I have installed mrbs it's working fine. Now I need to authenticate it with ldap. So I set-up ldap server on my machine.I added entries in config.inc.php from the documentation and previous post on ldap and mrbs. But which value should be given to $ldap_dn_search_attrib? As I'm working on linux machine i cannot give sAMAccountName so what value is to be given?
$ldap_dn_search_attrib = "sAMAccountName"; #this is for Microsoft AD directories
Here is my config.inc.php for ldap authentication

$auth["session"] = "php";
$auth["type"] = "ldap";
$auth["realm"] = "mrbs";
$ldap_host = "127.0.1.1";
$ldap_port = 389;
$ldap_v3 = true;
$ldap_tls = false;
$ldap_user_attrib = "uid";
$ldap_dn_search_attrib = "sAMAccountName";
$ldap_base_dn = "ou=2000,ou=students,ou=comp,dc=***,dc=org,dc= in";
$ldap_dn_search_dn = "cn=admin,dc=***,dc=org,dc=in";
$ldap_dn_search_password = "****";

So please tell what modification are to be done in order to make it work. Also how to check the error when I try to login through ldap? I get the page Unknown user every time when I try to login with ldap. So I'm not able to get where exactly is the error?

I can't answer your question, but cmorrison or John Berenek will be able to on the MRBS lists.

$ldap_host = "127.0.1.1";

the ldap host should be that of you domain controller, not the mrbs server.

my working config:

 $auth["type"] = "ldap";
//# 'auth_ldap' configuration settings
 //# Where is the LDAP server
 $ldap_host = "192.168.0.5";
 //# If you have a non-standard LDAP port, you can define it here

 $ldap_port = 389;
 //# If you want to use LDAP v3, change the following to true
 $ldap_v3 = true;
 //# If you want to use TLS, change following to true
 $ldap_tls = false;
 //# LDAP base distinguish name
 //# See AUTHENTICATION for details of how check against multiple base dn's
 $ldap_base_dn = "ou=staff,dc=example,dc=college,dc=internal";
 $ldap_user_attrib = "uid";
 // If you need to search the directory to find the user's DN to bind
 // with, set the following to the attribute that holds the user's
 // "username". In Microsoft AD directories this is "sAMAccountName"
 $ldap_dn_search_attrib = "sAMAccountName";

 $ldap_dn_search_dn = "cn=LDAP,cn=Users,dc=example,dc=college,dc=internal";
 $ldap_dn_search_password = "xxxx";
