Hello,
we have a Koha-Installation and would like to connect to our OpenLDAP
-server, but I can't get it to work.
First our Koha setup:
> OS: debian wheezy
> Koha: 3.20.02
Connecting to ldap-server works fine but the password comparison fails
with the follwing error (tested in the console but also fails in the
web gui; also given password is correct):
> root at biblio:/etc/koha/sites/MY_SITE# env PERL5LIB=/usr/share/koha/lib
KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/sites/MY_SITE/koha-conf.xml perl
/usr/share/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac/opac-user.pl userid=MY_MAIL_NAME at MY_
ORG.org password=MY_PASSWORD. | head -5

/usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Auth.pm line 1107, <DATA> line 595.
Configuration in koha-conf.xml, see below. Our ldap-server uses SSHA as
password sheme. Could this be the problem?
How can I solve it? Can't find much usefull when searching internet for
the problem.
Thanks and best wishes
