Internal Error on LDAP Auth

Added by Alex Vanino almost 11 years ago

I just recently setup Active Directory integration in Redmine. Additionally I also installed the Directory Sync plugin to sync the groups and users. That plugin can be found here: http://www.redmine.org/plugins/redmine_ldap_sync

I've successfully tested the ldap integration by creating a test user, setting it's auth mode to LDAP and logging in as that user. That was successful.

Additionally at Random (About a 50% chance of it happening) I'll get an error on login:
500
execution expired
This also happened during my successful login test above, and is still happening. I have no clue why. If I turn off LDAP integration all together, it goes away.

After setting up the LDAP Sync plugin and doing the first rake command to sync the redmine groups/users with active directory, I checked the Users list and saw that my test user with the filled in firstname, lastname and mail was imported as a locked user.

I then went and attempted to login with a user that wasn't imported because it does not have an email address in the ldap. It's my understanding that the user will be created on the fly at first login and will ask the user to specify their email. When I went to login, redmine threw another internal server error.

Webrick? I used the Bitnami Redmine installer, so I'm not sure.

The 'execution expired' happens when the 'with_timeout' block in function 'authenticate' in 'app/models/auth_source_ldap.rb' timeouts. You can set the timeout within the settings for your ldap server.

Depending on the hostname you are using for redmine to connect via ldap, this can easily happen if several of the A/AAAA records for the entered hostname are unavailable. Redmine uses Net::LDAP which in turn uses Socket.tcp which will look up all hostnames from DNS and tries to connect to them. In our testing environment with multiple active plugins and two out of three ldap servers unreachable, I was able to see Redmine go through three full ldap hostname lookup/connection procedures which took about 20 seconds (sometimes longer).
