Hi,
In the near future, our company is going to launch an LDAP server, and we would like to authenticate the users in our Moodle e-learning system via LDAP. My job is to prepare our e-learning system (Moodle v3.3) to this authentication method. I've successfully enabled the LDAP auth module and I found an online demo LDAP server: https://www.forumsys.com/tutorials/integration-how-to/ldap/online-ldap-test-server/
I tried to configure the Moodle LDAP module by using the description of forumsys (server, Bind dn, Bind pw, etc.), you can check the screenshots about the Moodle LDAP configuration.
I guess, with a correct configuration, I should be able to login e.g. the username "euler" (with password: password), but login failed (login failed with id "1").
Could you please help me about the correct settings?
Well, you don't have anything in User Attribute - you will need to add that, though I really can't see the point of this exercise...you should just wait until you have your own server online and work on that one.
LDAP is all about the connection - making it fire up on a server that is not even yours really does not tell you anything except that the plugin works. I can tell you that the plugin works!
Emma! Thank you for your answer! I only have to make an online presentation about a working connection between the Moodle and an LDAP server. I guess it is just a confirmation that Moodle can authenticate users via LDAP and my job is to demonstrate it. I believe you, but I have to make an online presentation for our principals (this is why I'm using an online demo LDAP server). Do you have any idea how to do this?
BTW: I've already tried to use the following user attributes without any success: uid, cn.
Problem solved I created a local (WAMP) copy of our Moodle system, and installed the Apache Directory Studio where I was able to create a new LDAP server with some demo data. The Moodle LDAP connection works, my test user is able to login using the un and pw set by LDAP. So I will be able to demonstrate that Moodle can authenticate users via LDAP and we dont have to switch to another LMS system
Glad you were able to figure it out - there is also LDAP enrollment which create teachers and students for courses from LDAP groups which is pretty neat.
