Moodle Ldap help needed

[pooley]

Neeed a little help getting Ldap working.

 

Have just installed Moodle 1.9.7 on my 2003 Server - Running Wamp.

 

Moodle setup has gone fine so far, but am now struggling with Ldap

 

My Ldap setup settings are

Host url = server.internal
Version 3
Ldap = utf-8

Bind Settings

Hide pass = Yes
Distinguished name = CN=moodle,OU=users,DC=domain,DC=local
Password = ******

User Lookup settings
User Type = MS Active Directory
Contexts = OU=SchoolUsers,DC=domain,DC=local

Search subcontexts = Yes 

User attibute = sAMAccountName

 

Thats it, it saves setting fine. I run the cron job and get

 

Server Time: Wed, 20 Jan 2010 11:33:43 +0000


Starting activity modules
Processing module function assignment_cron ...done.

I cannot find any error log files to aid me with troubleshooting this error.

 

Any help appreciated

The settings save fine even if they are incorrect, e.g wrong password

 

I assume when you say it doesn't work, that you mean when a user tried to login to moodle they encounter an error?

We kept getting either bind failures or incorrect user password (even though the password was right)

 

We haven't got our moodle here fully functional yet, but as far as I am aware the cron script if for maintenance and won't affect the LDAP server.

Just a start but do you have the php_ldap extension enabled in wamp?

[dhicks]

User attibute = sAMAccountName

 

First, check if this field is case-sensative. Then, check and see if your Active Directory accounts actually have SAMAccountName set - ours don't, I need to fix that before SmoothWall can use AD for authentication.

php_ldap extention is enabled

Removed sAMAccountName

 

I was checking under "Browse list of users" but no-one there.

 

Just tried to login as a user and got LDAP-module cannot connect to any servers: Server: 'Server_IP' Connection: 'Resource id #48' Bind result: ''

 

At least I have an error message to work from,

 

thanks guys

from what I have currently worked out the browse user list is populated by people who have been created, so the first time someone logs in an account appears here.

 

Keep trying to login as you chaneg things, once the bind error is gone (usually caused by incorrect server details) then the next error I encountered was the wrong password error for users, this was because my bind account had to little AD rights.

Ok Head & Brick wall coming up.

 

Tried a new ldapuser same issue. Still cannot bind.

 

When I run the auth_ldap_sync_users.php via command line I think I should get

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\Moodle1.8\server\php\ext\php_pdf.dll' - The specified module could not be found.
in Unknown on line 0
Configuring temp table
Creating temp table mdl_extuser
Connecting to ldap...
+ 4 users
Got 4 records from LDAP
No updates to be done
User entries to add: 4
Inserted user moodle.student1 id 3
Inserted user moodle.student2 id 4
Inserted user moodle.teacher1 id 5
Inserted user moodle.teacher2 id 6

 

But all I get is

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.PPSERVER>C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.9-2\php.
exe -f C:\wamp\www\Joomla\moodle\auth\ldap\auth_ldap_sync_users.php
Configuring temp table
Creating temp table mdl_extuser
Connecting to ldap...

 

Then it closes.

 

I can telnet the Ldap/DC on port 389 so I can connect fine.

 

So it is the authentication process thats falling over but I am all out of ideas now

 

Any suggestions appreciated.

 

PHP ver = 5.2.9-2

Mysqp = 5.1.36

Apache 2.2.11

Finally sorted it.

 

Under distinguished name I used [email protected] and it worked.

 

Wish I had tried it at about 11am this morning!!!!
