i have been searching trying to find some hints/ideas/solutions - but here i am again . . .
i am trying to authenticate using ldap -
i am getting rather confused as to what is expected for these values:
- uid APPEARS mean different things to XOOPS and our LDAP
XOOPS appears to want a numeric value for uid
our LDAP uid is a string - more appropriate to the XOOPS uname
- our LDAP
uid - text - user login name
employee_number - numeric - looks like what XOOPS wants for uid
- Xoops
uname - text - user login name
first, i am certain of what our LDAP looks like, but please confirm that my understanding of what XOOPS is supposed to like is correct.
second, what is the appropriate configuration for setting this up?
third, it appears (after fiddling with ldap_uid_asdn) that even when ldap authenticates correctly, XOOPS still tries to match the password in the MySQL db table - which i CANNOT do (no passwords to be stored locally.
does this make sense?
thanks,
