Hi,

What version of XOOPS do you use ?
If XOOPS still tries to match the password in the MySQL db table, it's because you don't have the last version of this hack.

Go here to dowload the good version :

Authentication hack for XOOPS 2.0.13.1


Authentication hack for XOOPS 2.2.x

You don't have to modify user.php !!!

The uid in XOOPS can be a numeric or string.
In XOOPS the uid is the login name == uname in XOOPS
(uid for unique identifier)

The option ldap_uid_asdn :

yes : your XOOPS uname is in your LDAP DN ! for example
uid=dkroft, dc=mycompany,dc=us

no : your XOOPS uname is not in the DN so XOOPS need to search the LDAP entry.


You can use this option in the preferences if this isnot uid in your LDAP Server.

LDAP Attribute use to search the user : uid or other


Quote:
NOTE : The only things is that your LDAP entrey must have a XOOPS equivalent account (link by the uid). The synchronisation is not automatic for the moment : In the next versions.

The last authentication patch that I post to sourceforge in october include an option to exclude a list of users from the LDAP authentication method.
For example, you can exclude admin from LDAP auth. In all case admin authenticate to XOOPS database even if you choose LDAP method.

The pathc is here :

LDAP Patch for XOOPS 2.2.3


Effectively if it is the old version, only a XOOPS database modification would be restore the configuration.

You have activated the LDAP authentication. You must choose XOOPS in authentication method.
Go to administration/system/preferences/authentication mode and choose XOOPS.

I'm working actually to a new rewrite version of the authentication system.
It will include a more generic and pluggable authentication system and a synchronisation system.


For the moment, I have no date to give.

Hi,

For the moment this hack is for LDAP Authentication and not LDAP synchronisation.
The LDAP Synchronisation is planned for the next release.

Normally, you just to change the authentication mode from LDAP to XOOPS.
Your LDAP password is perhaps different from your XOOPS database password.

No this is not a password synchronisation but a account synchronisation.
When a user authenticate from a LDAP Server, if the user account doesn't exist in the XOOPS database, it will be created automatically with the login and password hit in the login screen.

Password synchronisation is another type of application outside the scope of XOOPS (like PWSYNCH)

I wonder with what version of XOOPS you work.

Quote:
Under Administration --> Preferences --> Extended Profiles --> User Settings Change the variable "Select the level of strictness for username filtering" to "Medium" and now things seem to be working.


Effectively, this option allow you to use . in the login name.

That's great

Any idea how long before that might be ready?


I hope in the next weeks.

I need to manually create the accounts for the user in xoops, with a 'dummy' PW. When the user logs in using their AD credentials it works fine. That bit is excellent.


In your case, it's your AD that is your authentification system and valid the credentials.
After that, the XOOPS Auth system just load the XOOPS User account with the login enter in the login form.

So if your login is foouser , the XOOPS Auth system tries to verify the foouser/pw in AD and after that load the XOOPS user identify by the uname : foouser
In this case the AD password can be different from the XOOPS USer but it's better to be the same !

Quote:
However, my usernames contain a period - firstname.lastname, and XOOPS won't allow those usernames. What I've been forced to do is create the account with just the firstname, then go into MySQL and manually change the loginname field to firstname.lastname. That seems to work.


I've never test this case. Can I have more details about your AD login : period - firstname.lastname ??

Quote:
I'm planning on doing a large 'insert' on the tables manually to create the users so that's not a huge deal for me.

I think there is a problem in the tarball.
Is there any files missing ?

Thanks
