Is there a possibility that there is an LDAP account with the same username as your admin login?

 

If so, this block:

my $entr = $result->pop_entry;

unless( defined $entr )

{

        … #check local admin account

}

would get passed over – and checked against LDAP for the password.

 

Putting this block first (from the first block of config on the wiki):

my $user = $repo->user_by_username( $username );

 return unless $user;

 $username = $user->value( "username" );

 my $user_type = $user->get_type;

 if( $user_type eq "admin" )

 {

  # internal authentication for "admin" type

  return $repo->database->valid_login( $username, $password );

 }

 

would confirm if this is the case or not.

 

Cheers,

John
