SID-01355: Local authentication problem after installing LDAPContrib

Status:	Unanswered	TWiki version:	5.1.0	Perl version:	5.8.8
Category:	LdapContrib	Server OS:	Scientific Linux CERN SLC release 5.7, kernel 2.6.18, 64 bit	Last update:	13 years ago

Dear All, I have the following problem;

I have installed Twiki, created a (local) user which I can logon as w/o problem. I have now installed LDAPContrib and can authenticate using remote user credentials. The problem is I can no longer authenticate the previously created local user. I have enabled,

SecondaryPasswordManager = 'TWiki::Users::HtPasswdUser'

to permit local authentication for local accounts to continue but attempting to logon at http://hostname/twiki/bin/login/ always produces an 'Oops: we could not recognize you. Try again or reset your password' response. If I change

$TWiki::cfg{UserMappingManager} = 'TWiki::Users::LdapUserMapping' $TWiki::cfg{PasswordManager} = 'TWiki::Users::LdapPasswdUser';

back to

$TWiki::cfg{UserMappingManager} = 'TWiki::Users::TWikiUserMapping'; $TWiki::cfg{PasswordManager} = 'TWiki::Users::HtPasswdUser';

then local authentication works again, but of course not the remote LDAP stuff. If it makes any difference the remote LDAP server is a Active Directory one.

Any suggestions on how to proceed?

Many thanks Tom Crane

Ps. I don't seem to be able to attach the config file here as TWiki guest, so I've placed it on http://www.mklab.rhul.ac.uk/~tom/LocalSite-obfuscated.cfg.gz instead.
