Notice Undefined index CN using ldap

I am attempting to setup a linux moodle server on our site using ldap authentication on a Windows 2003 Active Directory server. After finding that ldap_user_attribute did not default to cn, everything worked. I then changed this to sAMAccountName, set the ldap_memberattribute to memberOf and tried to prepopulate the user fields with ldap attributes i.e. sn and GivenName. Since the I get an error when a user logs in

Notice: Undefined index CN in /var/www/html/moodle/auth/ldap/lib.php on line 574

Warning Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /var... 574) in /var/www/html/moodle/lib/moodlelib.php on line 947

As far as I can see the offending line is array_push in

       //add found users to list
        for ($i=0;$i<$users['count'];$i++) {
            array_push($fresult, ($users[$i][$CFG->ldap_user_attribute][0]) );
        }

Can someone give me a clue as to what may be happening?

Can you post your Moodle Auth-LDAP config and a brief explanation of how your LDAP repository looks like (user records, tree structure, etc)?

Hi Kerry, i've almost the same scenario as yours, we have Active Directory running on a Windows 2003 Server and we have moodle running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, i´ve been testing lots of combinations of values of LDAP settings and i have no success on configuring netiher NTLM plugin nor LDAP.

I´ve noticed that you changed lots of default settings on the moodle, could you tell me if you had success on your implementation.

Thanks in advance
