Hi Steve,

I need users to bid using there AD id.

When I try to enable ldap I get this error

Fatal error: Cannot use object of type PEAR_Error as array in /var/www/html/webauction/dataface/Dataface/Serializer.php on line 75

my conf.ini

[_auth]

auth_type=ldap

;url=”https://my.sfu.ca/cgi-bin/WebObjects/cas.woa/wa”

users_table = “users”

username_column = “username”

;password_column = “password”

;allow_register=1

ldap_host = “192.168.1.88”

ldap_port = “3268”

ldap_base = “ou=users,dc=mysales,dc=com”

my ldap module is in /var/www/html/webauction/dataface/modules/ldap.php. using

http://weblite.ca/svn/dataface/modules/Auth/ldap/trunk/

am I doing something wrong?

this is the error_log from apache

[Wed Mar 04 12:47:54 2009] [error] [client 192.168.1.12] PHP Fatal error: Cannot use object of type PEAR_Error as array in /var/www/html/webauction/dataface/Dataface/Serializer.php on line 75, referer: http://sinsxvlab110.mysales.com/webauct … gories+asc

See this post: http://xataface.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4475 and see if some of the modifications made by Jean or fantomasdm will help for your ldap setup.

Hi Steve,

My ldap server needs authentication to retrieve ldap info. how do i pass that info in conf.ini.

Also is there away how i can auto insert ldap user details in to the database.

example.: When a user uses hes AD id to login, webauction authentication tool will retrieve “title,mail address,department” and insert it to relavent DB tables

Thank You,

If you check out Jean’s version of the LDAP module you’ll see that passes the user’s name/password to the ldap_bind function to make the connection to the AD server. You may want to do something similar to this.
