    Set up the AD integration module, everything should be fine. Tested with multiple users; however just always fails authentication.

    from cli, can auth to user no problem with same credentials. redmine configured with same base dn, settings and it works fine. help! Where are the detailed logs?

  • Same result for us. We’re running WP 3.2.1 on Win2003, Apache 2.2.16 and PHP 5.2.13. Have tried running WP in debug mode but it did not throw any info to the screen. Using an LDAP tool we are able to authenticate using the Base DN and user credentials that we configured in the plug-in. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Are you sure of your base_dn setting? Might that be ou=Users,dc=XXX,dc=com (i.e. not cn=Users)?

    BTW: have you tried just using base_dn: dc=XXX,dc=com ?

    We tried our Base DN. Not sure if it matters but ours is “dc=xxx,dc=xxx,dc=xxx” which basically has an extra domain component.

    Also tried the absolute path to the actual OU where my account is stored.

    Used an LDAP tool from the server where WP is installed and I was able to connect using both of the provided AD paths along with my account credentials.

    Set DEBUG mode to TRUE but it didn’t spit-out any info to the screen. Anyway of invoking msg’s?

    Also, does the plug-in work with sub domain names? i.e. sub.website.com?

    Thanks, AQ

    Your account suffix is wrong. You should try “@xxx.com” not “xxx.com” as stated on the options page.

    And yes: it works with subdomains like sub.website.com
