Dear All, It seems this issue was related to the <principle_name> tag. I had to put <principle_name>%s@meek.ca</principle_name> for it to work. Hope this helps someone else, Regards, On Tue, Aug 10, 2010 at 8:41 AM, Susan Mustafa <susan.mustafa@gmail.com>wrote:
Dear Members,
I need to do LDAP Authentication with the latest Koha version, but it does not work. [[[[Invalid Username or Password ]]]]
*Below is a subsection of the koha-conf.xml file:*

</mapping> </ldapserver>
</config> </yazgfs>
Please note that I copied this portion of the LDAP XML from my 3.0 Version[Production] which had LDAP Working and then I added the extra <Principle_name> thing to the xml.
What else do I have to do after changing this koha-conf.xml file? Kindly note, that this info of authentication works, because it worked on the 3.0 before but not on the HEAD/Git. Its copy paste + <principle_name> tag.
I checked the error logs, both produce nothing, which is very very odd.
The only error I get happens on screen and it is [[[Invalid Username and Password]]]]
Kindly awaiting a reply. This is really important.
Best Regards,
