How to use LDAP Auth support?

[balth]

Hello,
Can someone explain what is the goal of the ldap authentification support? (admin > system settigs > LDAP Authentication Support)

Thanks in advance for explanations.

Up!

I need some help please !
Even if I use tuto like this : http://www.sugarcrm.com/forums/showp...0&postcount=11
I can't use LDAP authentification.
Server, port and base DN fields are well filled (I hope) but I don't really understand what correspond to :
- bind attribute
- login attribute
- Authenticated User
- Authenticated Password

Do Authenticated Password & User correspond to LDAP user/pwd field needed to connect ?
What bind & login attribute need to be filled ?

Thanks in advance for your answers

No one knows?

Checking my sugarcrm.log it seems I have also a matter of ldap server.....

Mon May 19 16:43:57 2008,653 [5860] FATAL SugarCRM - [LDAP ERROR][-1]Can't contact LDAP server
Mon May 19 16:43:57 2008,654 [5860] FATAL SugarCRM - SECURITY: ldapauth: failed LDAP bind (login) by admin, could not construct bind_user
Mon May 19 16:43:57 2008,654 [5860] FATAL SugarCRM - SECURITY: User authentication for admin failed

But using phpLDAPadmin I reach the server without any matter (even if I work on a virtual machine)

Please help

Hi,

Ok, now I can contact the LDAP server :
- I fill the Server field with the IP (not with the url)

However, now I have another error :

Wed May 21 11:58:06 2008,896 [7704] FATAL SugarCRM - [LDAP ERROR][49]Invalid credentials

What does this mean?

Thank in advance for the answer.

Means you're passing the wrong bind user or password.

I have tried many user and password, checked with another developper, user and password are ok but I can't connect using LDAP auth
