LDAP Connection

Archived Licences B. 11 years ago

Hi,


I'm trying to make the LDAP connection work. However, it seems that some information cannot be entered in the admin console.


We created an account for UseResponse so that it can connect and validate the credentials. I see no way to enter this information in the admin console.


In the admin docs, there is a segment where it explains that we need to add a SSo class and some code for it to work. I'm not sure if it's related to the LDAP connection or the LoginPlus only.


After entering the information in the admin console, I cannot connect using LDAP, even if the firewalls are now opened.


thank, you

Hello,

If you are using LDAP server authentication method, users will be retrieved from your server and new accounts will be created if they are not in the system. More details on integration.

SSO Class is only for One Login method that is an alternative to LDAP.

The connection to LDAP server should be entered in Module Settings on Single Sign On page where you should choose LDAP Authentication method.

Should I open a problem if it doesn't work then?

You can put more details here if something doesn't work... Please provide screens of your settings and if it connects to LDAP server at all.. Make sure, that settings are valid.

Attached picture is my current settings.


They have been provided by my LDAP team.


How can I test if the application can connect to the LDAP server?

Right now, when I try to connect, the error I get is :

Can't contact LDAP server (see other attached image)

Did you verify these settings with the person that provided you LDAP connection?

Please make sure server is connected... You can't test it, until it really connects and not behind firewall

Ok thank you, I will verify the port information and see if it works.

You are welcome... Our software connects 100% to the server as we've tested it recently at several environments at customers servers

The connection is working between the 2 servers. (attached image is a telnet of the LDAP server from the application server)

What could be the reason of the error then?

After more investigation, it seems that you might only be supporting regular LDAP connection.


The connection I am using is LDAP S (securised connection).


Would there be a way to integrate LDAP S in the application?

Yes, we support only plain LDAP connection. We'll consider secured connection in 3.0 version. If you need custom development, please email us.

Can I have more information on how the module works? The documentation doesn't really explain how the connection is made and what call it does to the LDAP server.


Since I need an authentification parameter to browse the AD, I would like to modify the call so that it respects our company standards. I need to add some parameters and modify the call a little bit, however I'm not sure I understand how it works right now.

Could you give me a brif summary of how this module attempts to connect?


thank you!
