SID-01984: Authentication against LDAP

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	6.0.1	Perl version:	5.14.2

Hey there,

I tried to configure LdapContrib using an external LDAP server. I've got a Base DN, a port, a proxy user, a host and a Bind DN with password.
I configured TWiki with these values. But authentication doesn't work.

Should I additionally change something in my twiki.conf though I use an external server?

That's my LocalSite.cfg:

$TWiki::cfg{LoginManager} = 'TWiki::LoginManager::TemplateLogin';
$TWiki::cfg{UserMappingManager} = 'TWiki::Users::LdapUserMapping';
$TWiki::cfg{Register}{EnableNewUserRegistration} = 1;
$TWiki::cfg{PasswordManager} = 'TWiki::Users::LdapPasswdUser';
$TWiki::cfg{Htpasswd}{FileName} = '/path/twiki/data/.htpasswd';
$TWiki::cfg{MailProgram} = 'usr/sbin/sendmail -t -oi -oeq';
$TWiki::cfg{SMTP}{MAILHOST} = 'localhost';
$TWiki::cfg{SMTP}{SENDERHOST} = '';
$TWiki::cfg{SMTP}{Username} = '';
$TWiki::cfg{SMTP}{Password} = '';
$TWiki::cfg{Ldap}{Debug} = 1;
$TWiki::cfg{Ldap}{Host} = 'ldap.host.somewhere';
$TWiki::cfg{Ldap}{Port} = 389;
$TWiki::cfg{Ldap}{Version} = 3;
$TWiki::cfg{Ldap}{Base} = 'ou=users,dc=host,dc=somewhere';
$TWiki::cfg{Ldap}{BindDN} = ''uid=user,ou=users,dc=host,dc=somewhere';
$TWiki::cfg{Ldap}{BindPassword} = ''SECRET;
$TWiki::cfg{Ldap}{UseSASL} = 0;
$TWiki::cfg{Ldap}{SASLMechanism} = 'PLAIN CRAM-MD5 EXTERNAL ANONYMOUS';
$TWiki::cfg{Ldap}{SecondaryPasswordManager} = 'TWiki::Users::HtPasswdUser';

Discussion and Answer

LDAP configuration can be tricky because there are so many variables. It takes time to debug and configure properly. If you need timely help and are stuck you can engage one of the TWikiConsultants.
