Moodle LDAP Settings on CC3

[emdudley]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to set up moodle to authenticate against active directory but I'm having trouble finding what settings I should be using.

 

We use a CC3 network - I've checked the previous posts & googled but no joy!

 

I've read a bit about ldp.exe - would that be of use?

 

I'm completely new to LDAP so any help is much appreciated!

What settings are you having problems with?

 

Contexts are: OU=Teaching Staff, OU=XXX,OU=Establishments,DC=YYY,DC=INTERNAL; OU=Non-Teaching Staff, OU=XXX,OU=Establishments,DC=YYY,DC=INTERNAL; OU=System Administrators, OU=XXX,OU=Establishments,DC=YYY,DC=INTERNAL;

 

Where XXX is the 3 letter code and YYY is your domain. Beyond that I think everything is standard.

Thanks for the quick reply!

 

My settings currently are:

 

Host URL: ldap://IP/

Bind User Distinguised Name: cn=moodle,OU=Users,OU=YYY,OU=INTERNAL

and contexts are set as per your reply.

 

(where IP is the IP address of the root server, YYY is the domain)

 

I created the user moodle in active directory (behind all the RM stuff) - do I need to set up anything for this user except for the password?

 

The error I get is:

LDAP-module cannot connect to any servers: Server: 'ldap://IP/' Connection: 'Resource id #51' Bind result: ''

 

Thanks again!

Try

 

Host URL: LDAP://IP/

 

The ldap word should be in upper case.

Just tried capital LDAP but I still get the same error.

 

Any more ideas?

 

Thanks again!

I only have the Bind user name on it's own. The box is just labelled "Distinguished Name" & I only hve the name no context and that seems to work. I have the username in the same place.

Bind User Distinguised Name: cn=moodle,OU=Users,OU=YYY,OU=INTERNAL

 

Hi there,

 

OU=YYY,OU=INTERNAL should be DC not OU in my experience.

 

From memory I was able to just use OU=Establishments,DC=YYY,DC=INTERNAL with sub context searching enabled.

Well spotted that man.

 

Yep that works as well, I used what I put just to tighten it up.

Got it working using a combination of the above suggestions!!

 

Thank you everyone!
