LDAP Plugin
-
@iyoung if you do not supply a bind dn, then the code will use a blind bind. Windows AD doesn’t allow blind binds to ldap.
OK lets take a step back. I believe if you set use group matching to No and save the configuration, as long as the user is a valid ldap user he/she should be able to login. That’s not the final go only a stepping stone.
If that doesn’t work then we need to look at the apache error log. That will tell us what the plugin is having an issue with
-
@george1421 Lets confirm that you are attempting to login using the NT style user ID correct? (username) and not (domain\username).
Also one of the developers just IM’d me that the plugin doesn’t use blind binds (userid/password less queries) since that isn’t allowed in AD anyway.

@george1421 I set it to no but still can’t login. How do I check Apache error log?

@george1421 I set it to now but still can’t login. How do I check Apache error log?
Fog Configuration (wrench on tool bar)->Log Viewer->Select Apache error log (error_log) from drop down list. New errors at the bottom.
-
I’m getting “Unable to open file for reading”.
-
@TaTa can you post that section of the log? It almost sounds like your don’t have the php-ldap module installed.
-
This is what I got
-
FOG Log Viewer can open any other logs except for Apache logs.
-
@TaTa Well that sounds like a programmer’s issue.
For this issue you will have to go to the fog server and the linux command line.
For ubuntu I think (sorry I’m a rhel guy) the error.log file is in /etc use this command to find it.
find /etc -name error.logOnce you find the location use this command
tail<the path found using find>.For rhel the apache error log is in /var/log/httpd/error_log

I found it. It’s in /var/apache2 folder:

The time displays on my FOG website is wrong. It reads Wed Jan 25, 2017 18:34 pm but actual time right now is 1:32PM. How do I change it?

I just installed php5-ldap and tried to login. This is what I see in apache2 error.log

@TaTa I tweaked ldap plugin on my production server to provide more details of where the issue is failing. I’ll provide you with a link in the AM (here, about 8 hours) with instructions on patching your installation so we can figure out exactly what is wrong. The unbind warning, is just that its a warning. That isn’t the issue with your setup.

@george1421 I just sent a link to you via direct messaging (little talk bubble on the tool tray in the browser)
Save the file /var/www/html/fog/lib/plugins/ldap/class/ldap.class.php to a safe location and then copy the file downloaded file into that location. Then test your ldap login. The only thing added to this file over the standard ldap file is additional logging so we can understand what is going wrong.
Post the messages logged at the tail of the apache error_log. This should tell us where the in code the plugin is not happy. I can say the plugin works fine in my environment so we just need to understand why it is misbehving in your environment.

Thank you @george1421. I just tested it with and without user group matching but no luck. I sent you a private message of the error log. I can’t post it here. Bosses might not like it. I’m out of office today but If you need access to my server, I’m happy to do a teamviewer session tomorrow. Thanks again.

@george1421 I just changed search scope to subtree and below and magically I was able to login with domain user ID (no domain name is needed). I can’t thank you enough for your support. Thank you!!!
