Michael, this mod resolved the AD/LDAP problem for me. Thank you very much. Devs, somehow incorporate this to 3.2? On Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 10:41 AM, Michael Hafen <mdhafen@tech.washk12.org>wrote:

this can be set with xpath /ldapserver/mapping/password at is but
it will
fail because you can't compare a clear text with an AD encrypted
passwd!

i don't think so! can you imagine a password stored in plain in a
modern
and secure system? i think that the current code expect that the
plain
text used for comparaison will be encrypted by the server.

why unbind ? you'll loose the benefit of mod_ldap cached data.
$dbuser = Net::LDAP->new( [$prefhost] );

password = $password will fail as perl vars begins with $ sigil!
$res = $db->bind( $userldapentry, password => $password );
works better

so what would the suggested final mod look like if the current auth section of Auth_with_ldap.pm is:
sub checkpw_ldap { my ($dbh, $userid, $password) = @_; my $db = Net::LDAP->new([$prefhost]); #$debug and $db->debug(5); my $uid_field = $mapping{userid}->{is} or die ldapserver_error("mapping for 'userid'"); my $filter = Net::LDAP::Filter->new("$uid_field=$userid") or die "Failed to create new Net::LDAP::Filter"; my $res = ($config{anonymous}) ? $db->bind : $db->bind($ldapname, password=>$ldappassword); if ($res->code) { # connection refused warn "LDAP bind failed as $ldapname: " . description($res); return 0; }
That bit would stay the same. The bit of code that needs to change is further down: my $cmpmesg = $db->compare( $userldapentry, attr=>'userpassword', value => $password ); if ($cmpmesg->code != 6) { warn "LDAP Auth rejected : invalid password for user '$userid'. " . description($cmpmesg); return 0; }
Would become more like: my $user_ldapname = $userldapentry->dn(); my $user_db = Net::LDAP->new( [$prefhost] ); $res = $user_db->bind( $user_ldapname, password => $password ); if ( $res->code ) { $debug and warn "Bind as user failed". description( $res ); return 0; }
