[Obm] *** PROBABLY SPAM *** Re: LDAP Server Roles?

[f.bonnet at labsoft.fr]

Erwan,

I'm unable to make my ldap service to work.
It's always empty. The only way I got it to store some info was by  
running the /usr/share/obm-services/scripts/update-2.2-2.3.ldap.pl  
manually. (but when I try to login on the webapp the ldap is not  
requested, and then the login fiels are empty).

So everytime I will proceed to an install with ldap as an  
authentication method :
================= OBM UI  configuration ==================

Choose the type of authentication: (database/ldap) [database] ldap

=> my ldap isn't checked when obm.php is requested and then my  
login/password/domain fields are empty.

When I choose database as authentication method it works and I can  
login as admin0/admin but then my ldap keep remaining empty. My  
problem is that I will certainly need the ldap to work with the sync  
modules.

Here are 2 of my requests :
[root at localhost ~]# ldapsearch -h localhost -p 389 -D  
"uid=ldapadmin,ou=sysusers,dc=local" -b "dc=global.virt" -W
Enter LDAP Password:
# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <dc=global.virt> with scope subtree
# filter: (objectclass=*)
# requesting: ALL
#

# search result
search: 2
result: 32 No such object

# numResponses: 1

[root at localhost ~]# ldapsearch -h localhost -p 389 -D  
"uid=ldapadmin,ou=sysusers,dc=local" -b "dc=local" -W
Enter LDAP Password:
# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <dc=local> with scope subtree
# filter: (objectclass=*)
# requesting: ALL
#

# search result
search: 2
result: 32 No such object

# numResponses: 1

Over all I'm trying to run about all services as we are interested in  
syncing mobiles, mails, calendars... once it will be validated we will  
start to see how we can deal with the API from another webapp that we  
are starting to write.

Thank you in advance,
Fabien
