Joomla 1.5 and LDAP/AD

[localzuk]

Hi all,

I've been given the go ahead to do a new design for our school site and I'm taking the opportunity to move it to Joomla 1.5 from 1.0.

Please can someone advise me on how to get it to authenticate against the active directory?

I have set it up as:

Host:10.5.143.10
Port:389
v3:Yes
TLS: No
Follow Referrals: No
Method: Bind and Search
Base DN: DC=sch4290,DC=somerset,DC=gov,DC=uk
Search String:sAMAccountName=[search]
Users DN: CN=[username],OU=Staff,OU=Managed Users,DC=sch4290,DC=somerset,DC=gov,DC=uk
Username:CN=Administrator,CN=Users,DC=sch4290,DC=s omerset,DC=gov,DC=uk
Password: **********
Map name: displayName
Map mail: mail
Map uid: sAMAccountName

But all users in that OU still can't log in.

Any ideas?

Haven't looked at 1.5 LDAP but have you tried removing CN=[username] from the users DN string?

Host IP ADDRESS

LDAP V3 Yes
Negotiate TLS No
Do not follow referrals No
Authorization Method Bind and Search
Base DN CN=Users,DC=mydomain,DC=co,DC=uk
Search String sAMAccountName=[search]
Users DN Leave Blank

Connect username cn=LDAPACCESS,cn=Users,DC=mydomain,DC=co,DC=uk
Connect password password

Map: Full Name DisplayName
Map: E-mail mail
Map: User ID sAMAccountName

Think mine worked with this but I stopped using it, spent many hours on the Joomla forum trying to find it out.

In reply to SYSMAN - Yep...

[localzuk]

Ahh... Got it. My Base DN is OU=Staff,OU=Managed Users,DC=sch4290,DC=somerset,DC=gov,DC=uk

and the rest of the settings are like simcfc73 says.

[SYSMAN_MK]

Try adding OU=Managed Users to your Base DN

Nevermind, beated me to it.

I am trying to get my Joomla 1.5 to link to my LDAP and not getting very far...may i ask?...In following is the LDAPACCESS and password a new User and Password that has been set up in AD as the connect username? Maybe a daft question but i am all out of ideas!

Connect username cn=LDAPACCESS,cn=Users,DC=mydomain,DC=co,DC=uk
Connect password password

What are the rest of your settings?

[Burt]

As per Simcfc73...

[Burt]

All sorted...it was a combination of errors! The first was the nut behind the keyboard! - I forgot to add an e-mail address to the AD record and we all know how fickle Joomla! is about e-mail addresses!

The second was that for some bazaar reason RRAS was started on the Server and preventing access to the IP I was trying to bind too...

Never the less all sorted now and thanks to the guys for all the posts above that pointed me in the right direction...

Burt :-)

Hi,

Are you guys using Joomla 1.5 LDAP for Single Sign On...
i.e. A person logs into their computer in the morning via Active Directory and then if they open a browser and go to the joomla powered intranet they are automatically authenticated as a joomla user?

If so, that's what I'm after but I can't get it to work:

I have a read-only username and password for our AD network and I can get an PHP LDAP script to start a search and bind, but when it comes to Joomla i've tried all these settings and nothing ever happens. In the connect username/password I have the read-only username and password I use in the PHP LDAP script.

Host 10.168.150.50
Port 389
LDAP V3 Yes
Negotiate TLS No
Do not follow referrals No
Authorization Method Bind and Search
Base DN OU=UserAccounts,DC=ad,DC=xxx,DC=gov,DC=uk
Search String sAMAccountName=[search]
Users DN Leave Blank

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Connect username ad\IntrLDAP
Connect password Me7e9V2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Map: Full Name DisplayName
Map: E-mail mail
Map: User ID sAMAccountName

Any help gratefully received

love this guy:

Hi,

Thanks for this hint. Accoring to this post I was able to setup LDAP auth on my Joomla 1.5
Leaving the User's DN was the real solution.

Thanks & Regards
