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:*

<!-- ADDITIONAL KOHA CONFIGURATION DIRECTIVE --> <!-- db_scheme should follow the DBD driver name --> <!-- port info: mysql:3306 Pg:5432 (5433 on Debian) --> <config> <db_scheme>mysql</db_scheme> <database>koha</database> <database>koha</database> <hostname>localhost</hostname> <port>3306</port> <user>koha</user> <pass>koha</pass> <biblioserver>biblios</biblioserver> <biblioservershadow>1</biblioservershadow> <authorityserver>authorities</authorityserver> <authorityservershadow>1</authorityservershadow> <intranetdir>/var/www/koha-2010-08-04</intranetdir> <opacdir>/var/www/koha-2010-08-04/opac</opacdir> <opachtdocs>/var/www/koha-2010-08-04/koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl</opachtdocs>

</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,
