How to login thanks to OpenLDAP

yoggy · Post by **yoggy** » Fri Jun 22, 2007 4:26 pm

Hello,

I already installed Testlink and it's in production.
The DB is MySQL but I would like to know how can I do to use an OpenLDAP authentification?

Regards.

Our code is based on mantis -> give a look to mantis manual (because we have no section about this).

Thank you for your answer.

May I come back to you if I have some problems with this?

Yes, you can.
I've done the code porting/copy from mantis.
I've tested it long time ago on my windows XP, with an ldap version I've found on internet

regards

Hello,

I found this:
http://www.mantisbt.org/manual/manual.c ... s.ldap.php
http://www.mantisbt.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=618

But, I don't find core/user_API.php; so I added this in config.inc.php:
$g_ldap_server = 'ldap://localhost';
$g_ldap_port = '389';
$g_ldap_root_dn = 'ou=People,dc=company,dc=com';
$g_ldap_uid_field = 'uid';
$g_ldap_bind_dn = 'cn=Manager,dc=company,dc=com';
$g_ldap_bind_passwd = 'ManagerPassword';
$g_use_ldap_email = OFF;
$g_login_method = LDAP;

I was connected to Testlink as admin and I added a user (a login existing in OpenLDAP) but without password.

I tried to connect to Testlink with this user/password (password from openldap) but it doesn't work.

Can you tell me what I did wrong?

I would like to specifiy I'm already using others softwares which are using OpenLDAP for authentification and they're working (so it's not a problem with OpenLDAP configuration)

Regards.

I will try to do some tests on my laptop, and give you some answers asap.

I have tested on my XP with this config:

$g_login_method = 'LDAP';
$g_ldap_server = 'localhost';
$g_ldap_port = '389';
$g_ldap_root_dn = 'dc=mycompany,dc=com';
$g_ldap_organization = ''; # e.g. '(organizationname=*Traffic)'
$g_ldap_uid_field = 'uid'; # Use 'sAMAccountName' for Active Directory
$g_ldap_bind_dn = ''; // Left empty if you LDAP server allows anonymous binding
$g_ldap_bind_passwd = ''; // Left empty if you LDAP server allows anonymous binding

I have used Anonymous binding to LDAP, and worked OK.
Have not tried with user and password for binding.

I suggest to get LAst CVS code, because I'have made some fixes
regarding LDAP yesterday.

I'm using ILEX slapd 2.0.27

Regards

"I suggest to get LAst CVS code, because I'have made some fixes

I have the same configuration in my config.inc.php (except for $g_ldap_root_dn; in my configuration $g_ldap_root_dn = 'ou=people,dc=mycompany,dc=com' because 'uid' are under this)

But after this, do you need to create a user in Testlink? (I suppose yes)
If yes, do you have to put a password (i suppose no) for this user or can you leave blank?

I'm using OpenLDAP 2.3.35 and TestLink 1.6.2
Should it be ok ? Is there a problem with this version of Testlink for authentification with LDAP ?

Thank you for your answers.

LDAP has been implemented on 1.7, and I have tested it on this version.
Sorry but I'dont remember if we have done some development for LDAP on 1.6.2.
Anyway if you now a little bit of PHP, you can copy the code from 1.7.

The steps you have done, are the same I did.

please let me know

Apparently there isn't OpenLDAP authentification in testlink 1.6.2 and we can't use testlink 1.7
I'm not a PHP expert so it seems a bit complicated, for me, to put the code from 1.7 in 1.6.2, but I will try it.

Thank you for your help.
