[Koha] [KOHA] Unable to do LDAP Authentication with Koha 3.1 Latest from HEAD/GIT [[[[[[Invalid Username or Password]]]]] Error

[Susan Mustafa]

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:*

</config>

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,
