Problem with your amazing joomla ldap component - plugng 2.0.3.1

[dc03kks]

Hi , i m using the amazing component http://shmanic.com/tools/jmapmyldap/news.htm#11 for logging LDAP users. but i cant make it to work... :(

Project I m working a project on joomla 3.4.1 for a University that wants that users will never register from joomla default registration. I m playing from localhost in an apache server. the site its not in the airt at the moment to give u access... :( (so i have set from joomla user configuration the allow user registration to No .)

only the existing ldap users will login to the site and automatically will be created in the registered joomla user group...that is the main aim!!

I hope u understand so far...

My problem is that i m not familiar with the ldap and the configuration of your amazing component.

I was wondering if you can help me and any help would be really appreciated...

Data, for testing i have an ldap server that i m connecting through Apache Directory Studio see attached files 1 , 2 and 3...

Please some help cause i dont know what to do... :'(

thank you in advance ,,

in your user DN / filter you need cn=[username],cn=pxxx_db etc etc

Ηι kirancheema,

Thank you so much for the hint, really appreciated!! question 1, do i have to do that to the Base DN field as well ?? question 2, The other settings on the other fields are correct??

Thank you in advance

[kirancheema]

nope you shouldn't have to do that with the Base DN that looks fine as it is.

Do you know what sort of Directory you are using? Is it Active Directory or something else?

for Active Directory the proxy user would be orcladmin or pyles\orcladmin or orcladmin@pyles.com

actually is orcl short for oracle? in which case you should be ok as is?

With regards the Password Attributes - I just leave that as userpassword you password hash should probably be sha if you look at your Attribute table the userpassword is SHA hashed password not MD5

Hi kirancheema,

First of all thank you for your posts really helped me.

Also I would like to apologize for my delay to answer to your posts, but i had family problems.. :(

Now with your help i managed to make some progress,,

1. I managed to connect in Debug Parameters in the backend by inserting as you mentioned (thank you for that again) in the User DN / Filter * field the username dc03kks for example , cn=dc03kks,cn=peristeri_db,cn=Users,dc=pyles,dc=com
2. also i managed to connect in the front for the user dc03kks and password and the new user was created in the registered group,,,, awesome...!!!

PROBLEM,

1. only the user dc03kks who has administration right in the ldap can connect in the joomla site TARGET
2. My target is that i want all the registered users from ldap to connect to joomla site in the registered group,, and not just one as we asigned in the User DN / Filter * field for example , cn=dc03kks,cn=peristeri_db,cn=Users,dc=pyles,dc=com

How can i achieve that?? i hope you can help me again... cause i m doing something wrong or i m missing something here...

I hope you understand the problem,

Thank you in advance

[kirancheema]

have you tried the username substitution in the filter? cn=[username],cn=peristeri_db,cn=Users,dc=pyles,dc=com

That should substitute [username] for the user name that your are logging in with, otherwise you are permanently just trying to login as that user.
