I just setup Xoops on my web server, and I'm having some trouble configuring the Active Directory authentication method.

I've been searching the forums and Google for any help related to this. There doesn't seem to be any documentation on how to configure this method on the Xoops support wiki. Can someone please give me a bit more detail on the AD config options? I feel like I've populated the information correctly, but AD authentication just isn't working.

Additionally, I saw a post from someone a few years ago that turned on a debugging mode so he could see the exact errors he was getting when trying to authenticate via Active Directory. Does anyone know how I can do this as well?

Thanks,

James Gamble

Turn debug mode on in the general preferences.

Active directory is mostly used in specialised cases and the people that use it are most of the time very keen at it.

You can use the search function on this site to find information on active directory and LDAP.

Ok, I turned on debugging and when attempting to login, I get this error:

PHP LDAP extension not loaded (verify your PHP configuration file php.ini) using ads authentication method

Seehttp://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.extensions.php to install ldap. The process varies depending on PHP4/PHP5 and whether your using a Windows or *nix server.
