Enrolment

I've got a bit of debug info - I was trying to see if I could guess the problem - but I'm still none the wiser - I also notice the actual settings I used didn't show in the post above, so I'll post those details as well.

enrol_ldap_host_url: ldap://mydomain.com
enrol_ldap_student_contexts: ou=Courses,ou=student,o=dom
enrol_ldap_student_memberattribute: groupMembership
enrol_ldap_objectclass: groupOfNames
enrol_ldap_course_idnumber: cn

I used this code for debug around line 510 enrol.php
foreach ($ldap_contexts as $context) {
$context == trim($context);
echo "<br>connection:";
echo $ldap_connection;
echo "<br>context:";
echo $context;
echo "<br>ldap_search:";
echo $ldap_search_pattern;
echo "<br>ldap_fields:";
echo $ldap_fields_wanted;

And I got this debug:
connection:Resource id #29
context:ou=Courses,ou=student,o=lu
ldap_search: (&(objectclass=groupOfNames)(groupMembership=))
ldap_fields:Array
connection:Resource id #33
context:
ldap_search: (&(objectclass=groupOfNames)(=))
ldap_fields:Array

Dan,

I'm not familiar with NDS, so I have no idea what the tree looks like, and what a user record looks like. Can you give me a few hints, for instances where the users are, and a couple of example records?

Petri has, in 1.5, committed a series of "meta-configurations" that contain the correct values for a series of setups, including NDS. Perhaps you could take a look at the 1.5 code and see what the suggested config looks like.

After some off-line conversations with Martin L, we have discovered that this plug-in isn't really ready to use with NDS yet.

the idnumber field inside the Mdl_user database needs to be populated with the full context of a user - eg:
"cn=user,ou=student,o=domain"
There are a couple of problems with this: - the field itself has a size of 12 in the db, so for it to be used in this way, you must change the allowed size of the field to a higher value. There also isn't an easy way of getting the full context of a user and then storing it in the field above when the user logs on (using the LDAP auth module) - if anyone has a "lightbulb" on this one, let me know!

another issue is that the idnumber field is no longer able to store a student id number or actual "number" it is now storing a "context" instead. - This could be fixed by creating a new field in the user_db called something like "context" - but this field shouldn't really be necessary - the ldap Enrol module should be able to run a query without having to know the context of a user.....

hopefully the module will be improved at some point to work with NDS!
