[Koha] Koha Ldap Auth

[Daniele Piccoli]

Hi guys,

I've an instance of Koha in lab test and I'm trying to enable ldap auth
towards our active directory server (samba4 instance), but I'm
experiencing some issues.

Koha is correctly installed on an Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS, fully updated.

I read and followed this page [0], step by step, without any problems.

Now, I've followed this step:

1. Open /etc/koha/sites/*biblioname*/koha-conf.xml
2. Enable LDAP: <useldapserver>1</useldapserver>
3. Insert settings as follow:

<ldapserver id="ldapserver"  listenref="ldapserver">
 <hostname>ldaps://*IP-OF-DC*</hostname>
 <base>ou=Users,dc=*sub*,dc=*domain*,dc=*tld*</base>
 <user>cn=*user*,dc=*sub*,dc=*domain*,dc=*tld*</user>
 <pass>*password*</pass>
 <replicate>1</replicate>
 <update>1</update>
 <auth_by_bind>1</auth_by_bind>
<principal_name>uid=%s,ou=*User*,dc=*sub*,dc=*domain*,dc=*tld*</principal_name>
  <mapping>record field names -->
   <userid       is="uid"></userid>
   <password     is="userpassword"></password>
   <email        is="mail"></email>
  </mapping>
</ldapserver>

4. Reload apache service

After that, when I try to open the OPAC interface as well as staff
interface, the follow errors appears:

OPAC URL:

Software error:
