LDAP Authentication

[sivakumar]

Hi All,
I have installed the PHPMY FAQ 2.6.8 version. I have enabled the LDAP Support in the installation page and given all the details for LDAP. Also enabled in Admin Page.

When I login from the index page it calls the LDAP Authentication but giving the following error

phpMyFAQ warning [2]: ldap_get_values() expects parameter 2 to be resource, boolean given in Ldap.php on line 216

Please help what i am doing wrong ..Is there any configuration i am missing ? or any other ?

Hi Thorsten,

Thanks for your reply.. This is my config/constants_ldap.php contents

$PMF_LDAP['ldap_mapping'] = array (
'name' => 'cn',
'username' => 'samAccountName',
'mail' => 'mail');

$PMF_LDAP['ldap_use_domain_prefix'] = false; -------------I have changed this value from true to false .Since my username is not required domain prefix

$PMF_LDAP["ldap_options"] = array (
LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION => 3,
LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS => 0 );
$PMF_LDAP['ldap_use_sasl'] = false;

The following is ldap.php Details

<?php
$PMF_LDAP["ldap_server"] = 'ip of domain controller';
$PMF_LDAP["ldap_port"] = '389';
$PMF_LDAP["ldap_user"] = 'user'; -------------This is my username
$PMF_LDAP["ldap_password"] = 'user's password';---This is my password
$PMF_LDAP["ldap_base"] = 'ou=active,ou=employees,ou=people,o=domain.com;


Please help me. I am new to PHP and LDAP ..

Hi,

Code: Select all

$PMF_LDAP['ldap_mapping'] = array (
    'name'     => 'cn',
    'username' => 'samAccountName',
    'mail'     => 'mail');

are these values correct?

Hi Thorsten,

You mean from the LDAP server side or my LDAP configuration in the FAQ application,

[sivakumar]

HI Thorsten,

For more information in one our application, we use LDAP authentication by writing following code..'

$ldap_connector=ldap_connect("ldap.domain.com");
$result=ldap_bind($ldap_connector, "uid=".$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'].",ou=active,ou=employees,ou=people,o=domain.com", $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'])

$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] -- User Name Entered from the front end
$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'] -- Password Entered from the front end..

From above details can you able to help me..

Hi Thorsten,

Thanks for your help ....Finally i got the setup correct ..I need to give the following configuration.

$PMF_LDAP['ldap_mapping'] = array (
'name' => 'cn',
'username' => 'uid',
'mail' => 'mail');

But i have one question..WHen i login using LDAP i am again able to see only the Login screen.. The application will create user access records automatically or not..
Please provide me details..Thanks for your help

[Thorsten]

Hi,

if you login via LDAP, an user account will be created automatically but you have to add the permissions as well in the admin backend.
