I'm on openSuse 10.2, Openldap 2.3.
I successfully set up Moodle to authenticate users with LDAP, I created some students and teachers in the LDAP database, as well on Moodle and I can login on Moodle just fine with those users.

LDIF export:

and on Moodle config:

ldap_memberattribute: memberUid
ldap_search_sub: Yes
---
Teacher: ou=professores,ou=moodleusers,dc=here,dc=subdomain,dc=company,dc=xxx \
memberUid
Student: ou=estudantes,ou=moodleusers,dc=here,dc=subdomain,dc=company,dc=xxx \
memberUid

enrol_ldap_objectclass: posixGroup ***[1]
enrol_ldap_course_idnumber: gidNumber
the next three fields: cn
enrol_ldap_autocreate: yes
enrol_ldap_template: *it's blank*
--- end code

***[1] When creating the courses "disciplinaxx", I had to use phpldapadmin, and a "posixGroup" object was not available, so I created a "posixGroup - Suse" and the structural object "namedObject" had to be added to the course entry (check de ldif export). Without that namedObject slapadd refused to add the entries.

Any hints on what might be the cause of my problem?

UPDATE

1) Also, when accessing enrol/ldap/enrol_ldap_sync.php, no messages are shown on local logs, despite of the loglevel setting on LDAP. Right now when a user logs in on Moodle, lots of messages go to /var/log/localmessages.

2) I noticed on the Enrolment page that Internal Enrolment is the default, LDAP is selected, but there's no option to set it as the default method. Is that relevant?

[b]solved.[/b] In the user edit page on Moodle added the ID Number entries for all users. Too bad such a relevant field is listed almost at the bottom of the page, with "msn", "picture", and such. =)
