Redmine

The test link only tests connectivity, i.e. if it can open the port on the remote end, nothing more. Have a look at the redmine logs (redmine_dir/logs/production.log) after trying to authenticate with an LDAP user.

Please provide details about your configuration and possibly the interesting bits of the LDIF export of a user account in your LDAP if you still can't find the root of your problem.

My configuration is the virtual Bitnami stack built on opensuse 11.1.

It will take a little head scratching to get an LDIF (I don't work with it very often, so. . .)

The log isn't telling me much, here is the attempted login entry:

Is there a step up in logging that would give more information (verbose)?

Here is what I think are the pertinent parts of the LDIF for the user in question (myself).

Ok. so this being an "enterprise" solution (or at least it sounds like it), I suppose you will have to create an LDAP user for redmine to have access to the 4 fields you have configured at the bottom of the Redmine LDAP configuration pane. Could you provide some info about you have entered there? Furthermore: does the user DanW already exist in Redmine? IF yes have you switched him to the LDAP authentication scheme? If not, have you activated the automatic user creation?

OK, I, went to check the settings and had a v-8 moment. The user used to connect to the LDAP server was not fully distinguished. Once that was taken care of, it worked.

Thanks for your help, you asked the right question to make me look and find my mistake.

I really appreciate the assistance!

Great :-)

Hello Daniel,

Can you tell me what your Novell edirectory-setting are?
I'm facing the same problem.
