We're running wG 7.4.24 on CentOS now, and I've been sort of working on this problem off & on for a while now. Where I work I have to bind to our company's AD in order to run some sort of authentication. They require SSL authentication. So the server URL is ldaps.mycompany.com:636. I've tried to set the protocol to ldaps://, but every time I try that I get an error. To be more precise it's: Error: Malformed LDAP URL. LDAP URLs must include the protocol, i.e., ldap://hostname/

I can force the URL in the MySQL DB. At least I think I can. Now I'm not 100% certain I need to set it to ldaps://, but if it set to that or ldap://, it reads as a valid connection.

Whenever I try to  login with one of the company's users, webgui.log tells me that the user is trying to login with invalid information. I'm at a loss here and am hoping someone might be able to help out. I've looked at most every LDAP related thread here and haven't found an answer to my problem. I've even looked through the online Help, etc.

Any thoughts? I can, of course, provide more specific information if necessary.

TIA,

Quick Update:

I still haven't fully resolved this issue, but I have at least figured out part of the problem. Our organization's LDAP has some special fields they use for authentication, and the way it is set up, I need to bind with our generic login to search for those specific fields and find the individual's DN. Then I need to turn around and bind with their information. Maybe this is the way it's supposed to work. I admit I'm not terribly experienced with this sort of thing.

So now I find it would be easier to write a perl script to do all the searches for me and then create the users in wG beforehand. Now all I need to fix is ldap with ssl. That doesn't seem to want to play nice with the current wG modules.

I hope this helps someone out there.
