What ldap server are you using? We have always authenticated using auth_by_bind and never by comparing a password. Both in our openldap days, and now in our samba4 AD days.

In fact... I'd be surprised if many people actually use the 'compare password' way.

Perhaps you could try that?

Is you're ldap server allowing anonymous bind and search?  You don't
have a <user> or <pass> in the <ldapserver> config, so Koha will try to
do an anonymous bind and search to find the user by their uid.  I expect
you're ldap server isn't allowing anonymous bind and search, since I
would never allow that on my server if I didn't have to.  Do you provide
something like a rootdn and password to dspace for it to work?

    One thing which is not quite clear from the documentations am
    reading is where the location for the /koha-conf.xml file should
    be.. most docs say it should be in /etc/koha .. however when I
    checked my debian koha install the file is located at
    /etc/koha/sites/library/ (which is where I inputted the ldap
    configurations)

    I am suppose to create a file at /etc/koha/koha-conf.xml ? could
    this be the problem?

    I have tripped checked ldap dn config and other parameters I can not
    see where the problem is. same parameter works with dspace without
    issues :(

        Greetings,

            however when I do a:

            <base>ou=People,dc=example,dc=__edu,dc=ng</base>


        You need to modify this line according to your LDAP configuration.
