I'm not extremely familiar with Ubuntu... but.. if possible you may want to try and install the "ldap-utils" package. (apt install ldap-utils ) After this package is installed you should be able to use the 'ldapsearch' script to verify / test that your connection from the Koha box to your LDAP server. https://linux.die.net/man/1/ldapsearch https://serverfault.com/questions/452935/how-to-test-a-ldap-connection-from-...

I would start by making sure that Koha can connect to the relevant port on your LDAP server. If you have OpenSSL installed, you can check it like this:

$ openssl s_time -connect 192.168.1.12:636 -time 1

If it prints a line or two and then nothing else happens, it's not able to connect.

Hello All,

I really need help, i have been trying to get koha ldap to work on a netword in which i have windows Ad and the linux on a virtual box.

Below is my settings for ldap.

<install_log>/usr/share/koha/misc/koha-install-log</install_log> <useldapserver>1</useldapserver><!-- see C4::Auth_with_ldap for extra configs you must add if you want to turn this on --> <ldapserver id= "ldapserver" listenref="ldapserver"> <hostname>ldaps://192.168.1.12</hostname> <base>OU=AO LAGOS,DC=NGFLF,DC=ALUKO-OYEBODE,DC=COM</base> <user>CN=citrixadmin,OU=OTHER USERS,OU=USER ACCOUNTS,OU=AO LAGOS,DC=NGFLF,DC=ALUKO-OYEBODE,DC=COM</user> <pass>converge1@</pass> <replicate>1</replicate> <!-- add new users from LDAP to Koha database --> <update>1</update> <!-- update existing users in Koha database --> <auth_by_bind>1</auth_by_bind> <principal_name>%s@LAGJURDCS01.NGFLF.ALUKO-OYEBODE.COM</principal_name> <mapping> <!-- match koha SQL field names to your LDAP record field names --> <firstname is="givenName" ></firstname> <surname is="sn" ></surname> <userid is="sAMAccountName"></userid> <password is=""></password> <address is="" > Aluko & Oyebode </address> <city is="" >Ikoyi</city> <zipcode is=""> 920011 </zipcode> <branchecode is="" > 001 </branchecode> <email is="mail"></email> <brancecode is ="branchcode">001</branch> <categorycode is ="categorycode">BS</categorycode> <phone is ="telephonenumber"></phone> <sort1 is ="company"></sort1> <sort2 is ="department"></sort2> </mapping> </ldapserver>

To be honest, i have been on this issues of authentication using LDAP and i have reached a point that i really need help. Do i have to configure openldap client on the ubuntu server???
