LDAP Extensions Error

[martinball]

Hi All!

I run a Windows 2k3 AD Domain and have a seperate Redhat Enterprise 5 server with the SugarCRM Faststack loaded.
I wish to intergrate LDAP so that I don't need to create seperate user accounts for all my staff however I have enabled all the options in the System Settings within Sugar to enable LDAP but when I try and log in I get the following error.

LDAP Error: Extensions not loaded

Now I have done some digging around via Google already and it appears that php-ldap is not compiled on the Faststack utility, I have checked YUM and php-ldap is loaded on my system and I have tried to add.

 extension=php_ldap.so 
  

To my php.ini file however this does not seem to work.
Any ideas anyone, any help would be much appreciated?

What does a phpinfo() call say to your ldap installation?

[martinball]

Phpinfo() doesnt list any mention to LDAP at all.

did you restart the webserver after changing php.ini?

[martinball]

Yep I certainly did, using:

./sugarctl.sh restart

Hi Guys,

I am having trouble with this too unfortunately!

Never had any issue linking to Active Directory on the standard version of Sugar 4 or 5 but can not get it working with the Stack Installer.

I am running on CentOS5.
I have installed php-ldap through Yum and have located the 'ldap.so' on my Server but just can't get rid of that 'LDAP Error: Extensions not loaded' message.

I have altered both the standard /etc/php.ini just in case and the one installed by the installer found under the Sugar directory in /opt with no success.

I have added the 'extension=ldap.so' line to each of these files.

Just wanted to check I'm not doing something obviously wrong here.

Thanks
Russ

I have installed php-ldap through Yum and have located the 'ldap.so' on my Server but just can't get rid of that 'LDAP Error: Extensions not loaded' message.

Based on that would we need to find the php-ldap.so file and add the directory to our php.ini file?

Cheers,

Hi Martin,

I hope that's the simple answer, I can only find mention of ldap.so though.

Hi Russ,

Ill have a dig around the PHP.ini file and what not and I'll let you know what I find out, I'm fairly new to running PHP myself so it may take a while.

Hi Martin,


Having run Sugar a year or so a go with the standard non-stackk installer version I simply installed php-ldap on my CentOS system, ensured the ldap.so extension appeared and hey presto, it worked!

So, I think it's just a case of getting the wording and ldap.so location right for it to work.

Hoping it's this simple anyway!

Thanks
