Hi,

I am trying to use LDAP Contrib in my twiki. I have installed it but not able to set it up properly.

I could test ldap connection using /tools/ldaptest where I have set parameters as below my $server = 'IP address of my ldap server' my $baseDN = 'dc=abc,dc=xyz' my $bindUser ='sachin.wable@myldapserver.com' my $bindPassword = 'password' my $sizeLimit = 10;

above settings could connect to ldap.

I have installed LDAP contrib module and trying to set it from /configure.

Please tell me what settings i have to make to make this module working.

Thank you, Sachin

Discussion and Answer

I got users authenticated from LDAP. But I have a problem of profiles. When user log in using their LDAP username and password and click on their name it open page to create topic. I want them to create profile instead of creating a topic.

Install the NewUserPlugin.

Thanks Peter, It worked but now its not rendering ldap user on the profile page. it just shows Sachin Wable@ TWiki and then blank page and then footer. I have installed LdapNgPlugin and gluePlugin also as explained on twiki.org/vgi-bin/view/Plugins/NewUserPlugin

if i try to edit user profile page there i can see content as below

% SPACEOUT{"sachin.wable"}% @ <nop>TWiki

% INCLUDE{"TWiki06x01.RenderLdapUser" KEY="sachin.wable"}%

It should include above and render ldap user right? But why its showing blank page? any clue?

Above, I have intentianally added spave between % and SPACEOUT and a space between % and INCLUDE to show how it looks else its trying to include that in this comment.

Thank you, Sachin

May be the RequireRegistrationPlugin works better for you.

No, I will not require them to register as they are LDAP users. I just want them to create profile or show their profile from ldap.

Actually I removed LdapNgPlugin and GluePlugin and just installed NewUserPlugin. Now I can see below content on users profile.

%~~ LDAP{"(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=sachin.wable))" ~~~ clear="$jpegPhoto,$cn,$mail,$telephoneNumber,$o,$postalAddress" ~~~ limit="1" ~~~ format=" ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ $percntIFDEFINEDTHEN{\"$jpegPhoto\" as=\"$[j]pegPhoto\"}$percnt ~~~ ~~~ $percntFIDEFINED$percnt ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ \"$cn\" ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ Name: $cn Email: $mail Tel: $telephoneNumber Organization: $o Address: $postalAddress ~~~ ~~~ " ~~~ }%

Its showing all variables. right? it should evaluate it...

Thank you, Sachin

Done.

I used NewUserPlugin and * Set NEWUSERTEMPLATE = NewUserTemplate in data/main/TWikiPreferences.txt

Thank you, Sachin
