[Koha-devel] Configuring LDAP with Koha

[Sai bhalaji Dhinakaran]

Hi,

Go to the file Auth_with_ldap.pm located in: /usr/share/koha/lib/C4 and change the following lines of code:

my $userldapentry = $search->shift_entry;

        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;

        }



To this:



      my $userldapentry = $search->shift_entry;



        my $dbuser = Net::LDAP->new( [$prefhost] );

        $res = $dbuser->bind( $userldapentry, password => $password );

        unless ( $db && ! $res->code ) {

                warn "LDAP Auth rejected : invalid password for user '$userid'";

                return 0;

        }

Also, you need to configure the koha_conf.xml file which is in /etc/

Steps to configure are available in: http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:development:ldap

I worked for us on ADS LDAP Server.


Thanks and Regards,
Sai Bhalaji
