Michael,

Thanks for the patch! Saved me several other people a lot of
trouble. Hopefully this feature will be included as part of
the standard dotproject distribution. (*hint*)

For those not familiar with patching, read the man page for
patch ($ man patch), Or just copy it to your server next to
the dotproject folder and type something like:

patch -p0 <dotproject_LDAP.patch

Then go and configure your ldap settings in the appropriate
files (hint: config-dist.php needs to be reconfigured).

- Greg

Stop spamming us. Does it really take 7 emails? Oh, and I
love you.

Has anyone else ldap working with dotproject? I have tried
different combinations for the following lines without any
luck. Do you need to have an ldap client to query the ldap
server in addition to installing the ldap patch. I'm currently
running 1.0.2-1. Are there any logs available that point to
why the query is failing? The database authentication works
just. When I comment out the database authentication to
use ldap, I can never successfully log on to the site.

$dPconfig['ldap_auth_dn'] = "";
$dPconfig['ldap_user_dn'] = "";
$dPconfig['ldap_filter'] = "";
$dPconfig['ldap_host'] = "";
$dPconfig['ldap_pass'] = "";

One requirement for the ldap patch is that the username in
the dotproject users table has to be a valid ldap username. If
you did not to a synch with your ldap tree and/or if your
dotproject users table is blank, then you will never be able to
log in -- since the dotproject username is required for the
ldap bind for password auth.
