(solved)NET:LDAP on windows

[meukmans]

Hi,

Anyone has a step by step guide to install the perl module NET:LDAP needed to use the AD integration for a windows 2008 r2 server ?

I have zero experiance with this kind of stuff...

Thanks

I'm not entirely certain it's necessary to install it... never seen that issue arise so far...

Code: Select all

perl -MCPAN -e shell
install Net::LDAP

should be it; then go ahead and modify the settings in Config.pm to talk with your Win2008 AD server

And here I am trying all different things with 3th party tools for like 2 hours and a simple command line is enough

It is installed, ill try to edit the config file tonight.

Thank you very much Wolfgangf !

no problem - my pleasure

So i installed the module and changed the config.pm. I can't login now, how can i check if all is ok ?

[meukmans]

Argh, i made a mistake so stupid i don't even want to post it here

Thanks for the help guys, it works perfectly now!

After doing some testing i found out that agents can't change their password now. I guess this is because the user i made for the ldap connection only has read rights.

Any way to change this so that agents still can change their password (in our AD) ?

Thanks,

Generally, no... but that's probably ok, because it *should* be the same as their login to the domain/active directory. Any of those methods would change the password for OTRS as well.
