Topic: SME, pGina, and LDAP

[markehle]

Hello -

Anybody ever get pGina (http://www.pgina.org/) to work with SME and LDAP? I can't  figure out what the settings would be. I am able to connect to the LDAP server on my sme box using an ldap browser, but don't know how to translate what I see (UID, OU, CN, that sort of thing) to what pGina's LDAP plugin needs to authenticate. I've tried lots of different things (and YES - I have searched this forum) and still can't get it to work.

Any help out there?

Thanks -

Unfortunately, you can't auth against SME Server's LDAP because it doesn't store the passwords.  If you want to use pgina, try pop authentication ie. auth against SME Server's pop email server.  It works great.

Just out of interest, why are you trying pgina?

Thanks for the reply!

I did play with the email plugin and got it to work, but I couldn't get it to honor password changes on the server. Once I logged in with a given user name, If I changed the password on the server the old password worked anyway. I messed with the settings (force login and keep settings) and never did get it to work right.

I am using it because I would like a single login for our library staff and didn't want to go with a domain.

Thanks again -

If you install Open-xchange (search the contribs forum) the SME LDAP schema is converted to one that allows LDAP authentication (and personal/global LDAP addressbooks, too).

Thats the only reason I keep Open-Xchange on my SME box. I hope that a proper LDAP schema is part of the SME 8.0 plan.
