Hi,

I'm using Debian stable. In my /etc/ldap/ldap.conf BASE and URI have been commented out. Setting the correct configuration didn't solve the problem. Also, I did a tcpdump of the network interface and there was no LDAP traffic, when I tried to login.

After that I updated to the latest branch. Now it works. 

Regards,
Thomas

Hi,

I found out, that OC uses the ldap configuration that is defined in /etc/ldap.conf. It ignores the base setting of the ldap user app. In my ldap.conf the base setting was "dc=example,dc=com", so OC tries to find the user in this ldap tree. When I edit /etc/ldap.conf, so that it contains the correct base dn, OC can authenticate the user.

Dirk
