Hi Uwe,

I'm not sure if it will help you, but we have never had much luck with the password compare routine, which koha seems to like.

I don't know any other ldap client that works like that. The usual way (and this one works perfectly here, using openldap and also samba4/AD) is: use <auth_by_bind>1</auth_by_bind>

Your principal_name would then be something like:

<principal_name>dn=%s,ou=id,dc=MY_ORG,dc=org</principal_name>

Hopefully this helps you as well.

Hello,

we have a Koha-Installation and would like to connect to our OpenLDAP
-server, but I can't get it to work.

First our Koha setup:

OS: debian wheezy
Koha: 3.20.02

Connecting to ldap-server works fine but the password comparison fails
with the follwing error (tested in the console but also fails in the
web gui; also given password is correct):

root@biblio:/etc/koha/sites/MY_SITE# env PERL5LIB=/usr/share/koha/lib
KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/sites/MY_SITE/koha-conf.xml perl
/usr/share/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac/opac-user.pl  userid=MY_MAIL_NAME@MY_
ORG.org password=MY_PASSWORD. | head -5

Got 2 ldap mapkeys (  total  ): userid
Got 2 ldap mapkeys (populated): userid

Configuration in koha-conf.xml, see below. Our ldap-server uses SSHA as
password sheme. Could this be the problem?

How can I solve it? Can't find much usefull when searching internet for
the problem.

Thanks and best wishes
Uwe
