Hi, Struggling to get MRBS working with LDAP (Active Directory) Code is as follows; Our domain name is school but netbios name is stjohns.local Whenever you try to login on mrbs it just goes to a white screen // 'auth_ldap' configuration settings // Where is the LDAP server $ldap_host = "2003server.stjohns.local"; // If you have a non-standard LDAP port, you can define it here //$ldap_port = 389; // If you do not want to use LDAP v3, change the following to false $ldap_v3 = true; // If you want to use TLS, change the 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=users,dc=stjohns,dc=local"; // Attribute within the base dn that contains the username $ldap_user_attrib = "mrbs"; // 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 = "mrbs"; // If you need to bind as a particular user to do the search described // above, specify the DN and password in the variables below $ldap_dn_search_dn = "cn=mrbs,cn=Users,dc=stjohns,dc=local"; $ldap_dn_search_password = "********";

Hi, We are looking at the idea in September of having a wifi hopsport area for the pupils. Our proxy server is at the ISP (Redstone) and we don't have ISA. At present I monitor pupils activity by running a logoff script that copies the history into a html file on the server - but this is on machines that are on the domain. Is there a way to monitor there laptops when using the internet when they are on the domain. As they need to know Redstone's proxy, they will still get filtered internet access.

Anyone using Inty Web Defender? What do you think of it?

Hi, Is there a way to change the default layout of a webdav page. I have enabled it on my server and long term could be used for remote access. The default layout is just a list of directories. Is there a way to make that look more friendly? Thanks

Hi, We've got a public IP on our router but stopped using it when the kids discovered they could plug in a network cable, not use a proxy and get straight out to internet. Is there a way to force use of a proxy server (at isp). We don't have ISA. Need to enable public IP for remote access. Thanks

Hi, The 2 ports in question, there are just a pc connected to both of them ! Errors don't occur all the time but every few days. Network seems to be slow over them.

Hi, Was just wondering what causes High Collision or Drop rates on HP Procurve 2524. Its always on the same port. We also get excessive CRC/Alignment errors on the same port. Thanks Karl

Hi We are considering converting DVD's to MPG to store on the school network. These will all be education based- teachers tv, bbc etc. 1 - Is this legal? 2 - What is the best software? I'd like to keep the file size down too if possible. Thanks

Hi, The chef here has just got a new Macbook Pro. On safari the internet works fine. However, when it loads a page that processes login details EG Gmail or banking the page times out. Works fine on the Windows machines on the network so the page isn't blocked. Any ideas? Thanks

Yeah its to a server. And after a few minutes the user in question could get on without doing anything different. Guess it could be the concurrent connections limit. Is there a way to increase? Although it is to a 2003 server so shouldn't have the error.

No profiles are used either roaming or local. Its just whats on the local machine.

Hi, I'm currently getting an error with staff connecting to the shared area. This happens randomly on machines that have connected earlier in the day. Its the message: unable to connect to \\server\share. the local device name is already in use . this connection has not been restored. Any ideas? Thanks

Our chef has just ordered a new Macbook pro to use in his office. He only uses the network for internet access. A few questions he's asked me that I didn't know the answer to so though i'd ask on here: 1 - Is there a diary like Outlook for Mac? 2 - Is there a product like Microsoft Money for Mac? 3- Does the Mac need antivirus/firewall and if so which ones are the best or free? Thanks Karl

Thanks - I'm on TCP

Hi, Got a smoothwall school guardian on trial - mainly for vpn use. We only have 1 public IP, which is setup on the router. Smoothwall support have helped me setup certs etc. When I'm at home I can vpn onto the router then MSTSC onto the server. When I try with the OpenVPN it says Unable to Parse IP (Or something on those lines). Don't particular want a second public IP. Have set port forwarding on the router so everything inbound on port 443 goes to the internal IP (smoothwall) on port 443. Is that correct and can this be done this way?

Hoping to ditch in the summer. We have special needs kids so just makes it easier for them. Spoke to NDI tonight and they said they would send me a document on how to clear the license count but not recieved anything.

Hi, We have about reached our limit on Winsuite licences. Is there a way via the administrator to check which machines have Winsuite installed. I was wondering if it still picks up old machines? Thanks

Still struggling with this. Found out the bbc news feed is XML rather than CSS so the built in reader struggles. Anyone know of an XML reader for Joomla thats simple to use?

Got much further. Got the message coming in now. How do it structure the message into English in the body section mail( "***", "Message from Intranet", "This is a message from" $name "in room" $room $message, "From: $name"); header( "Location: http://***:84" );

OK, got it working by installing smtp on the server - can't be doing with the isp one ! On the php code <?php $name = $_REQUEST['name'] ; $room = $_REQUEST['room'] ; $message = $_REQUEST['message'] ; mail( "i***@bos*****.org.uk", "Message from Intranet", $message, "From: $name"); header( "Location: http://***:**" ); ?> At the momen I get the email. The subject is "Messge from intranet" and the From is the name someone puts in in the form. How do I get the room and message showing in the message part of the email? Thanks

Possibly, but I use the above settings on printers to email me and they work fine. The mail servers are external
