Hi,

I've just tried setting up adLDAP on a Linux/Apache server, and connecting to a Win2003 ldap AD.

When I try loading examples.php or the Docuwiki index page, I just get a blank page.

can someone give me a hint what might cause this... is it my path to the include files, my LDAP connection details, or something else?

I've checked everything and it all looks correct to me.

Any ideas where to start looking?

Thanks

Has anyone found any problems with file uploads or the indexer running?

Excellent Solution. Only thing I had to change was rename adLDAP.php to adLDAP.inc.php and everything worked like a charm. Thanks for the excellent solution.

I’m having trouble getting groups to work with the 2006-03-09 version of doku. I tried adding groups through the web interface and manually and neither have worked for me. Users are authenticated but when they login they simply get a permission denied page because I have @ALL set to no access. I’ve followed the steps above for the new install but I’m wondering if
I need to add additional lines to get groups to work.

Jason: looks like you didn't install adLDAP in a place that DokuWiki could find it.

Since adLDAP is a SourceForge project I'm not trying to bundle & sync their distribution with my code - you'll have to install it on your own (link provided in the post).

The good part is it's test/example PHP script that, if you can get working, guarantees you can also get DokuWiki working with it.

After following all the directions and taking a look at the adLDAP section of this, I am getting the following error:
Warning: require_once(adLDAP.inc.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\wiki\dokuwiki\inc\auth\ntlm.class.php on line 43
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘adLDAP.inc.php’ (include_path=’.;C:\php5\pear’) in C:\wiki\dokuwiki\inc\auth\ntlm.class.php on line 43

Now, I am trying to get this to tie into the IIS/NTLM authentication, so that might be part of my problem. Thoughts?

Oooops. RTFDs.

Maybe I am being a bit thick here, but did you place the adLDAP files into the /inc directory within your dokuwiki installation? I just want to make sure I am putting these in the right place.

In the ntlm.class.php file, look for the function called _sanitizeGroupName($name). It’s around line 146. You can indeed add your own additional replacments there.

I’ve noticed the most current version of DokuWiki will also replace some symbols by their hex equivalents (for example, pound signs (’#') with ‘%23′.

You may not need to make a change to ntlm.class.php if you change your ACL file to use ascii hex codes. For example, ‘ä’ can be written in the ACL as ‘%E4′.

See http://www.good-stuff.co.uk/useful/ascii.php for more ASCII codes.

Ah… i managed to retrieve the group names via the example-file.
But i still have trouble with the access list.
The basic group for users in our AD is Domänen-Benutzer.
But the ä seems to break the authentication.
Would you mind posting the lines where you used the str_replace(). I assume that would solve my problem too.
