unable to bind to LDAP

[sandeep_chandu]

The LDAP plugin is working well when I am using a localhost, but after hosting the site on web server I am facing an error "Unable bind to LDAP".

Please help me out.

Thanks in advance.

Hi thank you for the reply.

I have configured the LDAP plug-in and its working well when I am running it on localhost. That is I am able to log in with the username and password, but if I do the same hosting the site on web server I am facing an error "Unable to bind to ldap".

Your server has the LDAP extension enabled because you get past the the ldap_connect statement. The bind can fail for various reasons:

Does the LDAP server accept connections from the web server?

Does your web server expect to verify the TLS certificate of the LDAP server, whereas your localhost server does not need to do that?

Is the TLS certificate of the LDAP server perhaps self signed and the web server expects a certificate signed by a Certificate Authority?

You can turn on debugging before opening the connection to see in the log what is happening:

Code: Select all

ldap_set_option(NULL, LDAP_OPT_DEBUG_LEVEL, 7);
