[Koha] LDAP authentication -- Joy!.....

[Scott Owen]

Hi all,

Just answering the my own issue for list(s) consumption, maybe it'll 
help someone in the future.
(since it looks like win32 users may be stuck on 2.2.9 for a while...)

I switched back to the css them (I was using the npl), and LDAP 
authentication started working MUCH more like I expected.
 
I was able to pretty much just copy the script changes from
http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=ldap&s=ldap

and Ta! Da! I had working LDAP authentication
(a BIG thanks to whoever wrote and posted this script to the wiki...it 
worked perfectly!)

I made a couple modifications (see below) to allow users in different 
contexts to login.
In my case I have a O=SCHOOL and two OU's ou=students and ou=staff.

    # LDAP connection parameters

    # LDAP server
    my $ldapserver = '10.1.1.7';

    # Base DN for users
    my $name  = "ou=students,o=SCHOOL";
    my $name2  = "ou=staff,o=SCHOOL";

    # Bind uses the users full DN, if uid doesn't work try "cn"
    my $binddn = "cn=$userid,$name";
    my $binddn2  = "cn=$userid,$name2";

    my $db = Net::LDAP->new( $ldapserver );
   
    # do bind
    my $res =$db->bind(
            dn    =>$binddn,
            password =>$password);
   
    # do bind
    my $res =$db->bind(
            dn    =>$binddn2,
            password =>$password);   



    # check result, any other result than LDAP_SUCCESS (0)
    # is a problem
    if($res->code != 0 ) {
        # auth refused
        warn "Auth failed. LDAP server not responding or invalid 
credentials provided";
