    Hi and congratulations for Libreplan !
    I installed Libreplan in VM Centos 6.6 Scenario and all works with charm...but with LDAP + AD implementation i have big problem :
    In fact when insert base DN string only complete directory work and permit the login, es : ou=my organization,dc=mydomain,dc=local, but in my AD Directory all users life in multiple ou and the MSDN library for LDAP scripting not show a correct syntax for working with libreplan LDAP control panel...
    Is possible to work with multiple ou or these funcionality is unavailable ?
    I would welcome your help...

    It doesn't look like there are many people here to help. Lots of questions seem to go unanswered. But anyway...

    The three confusions in my case were Base, UserDN and UserID. I was unable to get it to work with the logical answers to those questions.

    I was able to find some information on this page that sort of tipped me off: http://demo.libreplan.org/libreplan/help/en/16-ldap-authentication.html

    Base needs to be the CN of where the bound users lives in AD. In my case CN=users,DN=company,DN=local.

    UserDN works on the same concept. Mine is CN=administrator,CN=users,DN=company,DN=local for the administrator located in the default AD Users container.

    The Last one is UserID. I was only able to find bits and pieces from people in the mailing list and forums. The best answer I found was "uid". Why, I have no clue, but it worked for me.

    BTW, I tried forever to get LibrePlan to work in CentOS 6.6. The best I could do was get it to bring up a blank page in the browser. Ultimately I had to switch to Ubuntu 14.04.1 (outside of our IT policy to use CentOS) and that worked great. If I may ask, what did you have to change to get it working in CentOS?
