[EP-tech] Re: With LDAP user_login.pl script local users can’t login

Our logic flow for LDAP and local logins is as follows and we had to pretty much write (re-write) our eprints_login.pl from scratch, but we had to do that for other reasons here as well due to the LDAP connection we needed to use to our central authentication system.  Our flow assumes that everyone logging in has a LDAP account first then tries the local DB if LDAP logon fails.

 

Hope this helps.

-Brian.

If you do not have the proxy account "someProxyAccount" (in the script see  my $dn  = "cn=someProxyAccount,ou=accounts,$base") it fail and "return 0" when try to bind on ldaps.

Did you put the password for the proxy account at cfg/ldap.passwd?

No, I don’t have an account for the LDAP server (I am on the process of asking for one), but I thought local admins don't have problem to authenticate. The script I am using is from wiki:
http://wiki.eprints.org/w/LDAP and it is the "LDAP Authentication with On-Demand Creation of Users".

Can LDAP authenticated accounts log in?  Can you paste the code in your user_login.pl file here?
