Hi
      For the <principal_name></principal_name>, try using the format <principla_name>%s at yourdomain</principal_name>. Most of your mapping of koha to ldap have syntax error. I don't know if that's a typo or ....include your LDAP parameters or the values that are mapped to Koha fields in double quotes. Look at the this linkhttp://perldoc.koha-community.org/C4/Auth_with_ldap.html for detailed information on the configuration.

Hello,

It's the first time i configure a connection between koha and a ldap.

I don't succeed (only one try would have been fantastic).

This is an extract of my file

<auth_by_bind>1</auth_by_bind> <!-- set to 1 to authenticate by binding 
instead of password comparison, e.g., to use Active Directory-->
<principal_name>uid=%s,ou=people,dc=ecp,dc=fr</principal_name>
<!-- optional, for auth_by_bind: a printf format to make 
userPrincipalName from koha userid -->
<mapping> <!-- match koha SQL field names to your LDAP record field 
names -->
<firstname is='givenName'></firstname>
<surname is='sn'> </surname>
<address is=''>Ecole Centrale Paris</address>
<city is=''>Chatenay-Malabry</city>
<zipcode is=''>92290</zipcode>
<branchcode is=''>ECAM</branchcode>
<userid is='uid'></userid>
<password is='userPassword'></password>
<cardnumber is='ecpbadgeNumber'></cardnumber>
<email is='mail'></email>
<categorycode is='supannEtuDiplome'>employee</categorycode>
<phone is='telephoneNumber'></phone>


I don't find where is the problem. Mapping between koha and ldap seems 
to be good.

But, in logs, i see this problem
[Wed May 30 14:58:07 2012] [error] [client 138.195.48.69] [Wed May 30 
14:58:07 2012] opac-user.pl: DBD::mysql::st fetchrow failed: fetch()

line 558., referer: http://koha.ecp.fr/cgi-bin/koha/opac-user.pl

An idea?

Best regards

Not sure if you're trolling but I'll assume not.  Yahoo and AOL are
about the only spam filters worse than Google.  Hotmail/WinLive is
also a poor service. All of them reject spam without telling you or
giving you any way to check for it - the spam folder is only a small
fraction of it.  Yahoo even deploys countermeasures against sending
servers, even for erroneous spam detections, which is just rude.

I think the wiki just gives up if email is rejected (after all, what
can it do?).

I'm not sure what to recommend. I use various mailboxes from my co-op ISPs,
so don't have much call to use free webmails at the mo.  Anyone got one
they know works with the wiki, please?

Hope that informs,

Looks very much like the servers stopped mailing out to me..

To note, I run a number of mediawiki sites, and have never had an issue
with their mails being sent to spam in gmail or otherwise.. It's probably
more of a server setup error at the mediawiki end. Might be worth someone
checking the reverse dns entries and things for that server.

Just me two pence.

Subject: [Koha] how to undo global due date?
Message-ID: <1338388207642-5714544.post at n5.nabble.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Greetings,

I need some help with a problem I've encountered in the circulation rules.
About six months ago I set a global due date for May 17, the end of the
semester. Since then, we've updated Koha a couple times, and I can no longer
find the page where I set the global due date. (From my reading, it appears
that this feature has been replaced with circ rules?) The system is still
maintaining the May 17 due date. I'm not sure how to reset this. In the
meantime, every time I check out a book, I have to confirm the action and
manually create due dates. All books checked out now are immediately overdue

I've made sure that there are no hard due dates set in the circulation
rules, but this hasn't made any difference.

Thanks for your time and help!

Yeah, that'll be because ico.gov.uk that enforces this law changed
their interpretation a day or two before the deadline.  They now seem
to allow opt-outs, which is utterly wrong and not what the legislation
actually says and the last-minute U-turn will have wasted lots of
money, but never mind, they're the ones who set the deadline and
now they've removed it so we have to live with it!

So Piwik (and Google) would comply with the current ICO interpretation
of the law if an appropriate warning is displayed, as I understand it.

More on this on http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8155
as stuff for Koha itself develops.

Hope that explains,

Maybe something is badly "overwhelmed" at the wiki end?  I just had a quick 
look at the User Creation Log 
<http://wiki.koha-community.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&limit=500&type=newusers&month=&year=> 
and there have been 500 "new" accounts created in the last two weeks.  Most 
of them look like automated spammer sign-ups -- and quite frankly I don't 
think this community group could|would have shown such interest ;-}

Thanks All.  This is useful.  I'll forward all the suggestions on to the
library that had these questions!  Much appreciated.
