suspected CORS issue but ultimately an issue with openldap and docker ulimits.

This is a really nice project but I tried to get it to work locally. I can get to the login screen but not past..

Also how can I set the password for the admin user?

My apology if the solutions are obvious but I really tried for a while now and also reset the mongosh admin user etc but did not help and I am not really versed with vue but want to learn :)

I know my docker setup is working so far.

Can you post your .env file?

[cocoonkid]

thanks for the swift reply.

Also how can I set the password for the admin user?

This can not be set, it comes from the LDAP. You can login with professor:professor

Which URL are you using in the Browser? At the backend the VITE_FRONTEND_URL is defined as only valid origin. So you have to use localhost:5000

[cocoonkid]

Yes that's what I am using.

I also tried professor:professor

can I disable ldap and just use normal authentication for testing?

Again, my apology if I am missing smth obivious.

[cocoonkid]

Now this is appearing too:

[cocoonkid]

I reset the volumes and restarted the project:

and then the ldap container exits.

everything else looks good.

only upon restarting the containers the above error from the previous comment shows up.

[cocoonkid]

I was able to fix the problem. Actually it has nothing to do with your project :)

docker run --ulimit nofile=1024:1024 --rm -p 10389:10389 -p 10636:10636 rroemhild/test-openldap

fixed it and I added these in the compose file:

  # Test LDAP only in development mode
  ldap:
    build:
      context: ./dev-tools/ldap
      dockerfile: Dockerfile-${NODE_ENV}
    environment:
      - DEBUG=false
    ulimits:
      nofile:
        soft: 1024
        hard: 1024

Thank you for taking the time!
