[Debian] Koha and Active Directory

[joe90bass]

I've managed to get Koha installed on Debian and login as the Koha admin user. I'm now trying to get it to lookup users in AD. I've followed all the instructions I can found on Google (editing the koha-conf.xml), at the moment when a user enters the AD username and password it just says you entered an incorrect username/password

Has anyone got this working?

Cheers!

I didn't do it with koha but with glpi and one thing that drove me nuts was the fact that AD doesn't allow anonymous binds for authentication, so you need to specify a search user.

The error message I was getting wasn't indicative of this, it just said invalid login. Might be related to your issue.

If I remember correctly, this is because Koha fails to recurse properly in to sub-OUs - it will search the OU you give it for the username, but it won't find users in sub-OUs. I seem to remember there's a patch floating around on the Internet somewhere (it's all of about 5 lines of code - just a while loop). I could be thinking of something else, I don't have our Koha install to hand to check right at the moment, but it's worth a look.
