Re: long ldap basedn not working

Hi Inaki

thanks for your reply. i think it isnt because of long ldap basedn. but because of context search. We have try with ldap.exe and also with ldapsearch. both working fine for searching student.

here is our ldap settings 

Host URL : 192.168.123.12

Version : 3

LDAP Encoding : utf-8

Page Size : 250

Hide Pass : NO

Distinguished Name : cn=Sysadmin,o=DSA,dc=domain,dc=edu,dc=my

Password : somepasswordhere

Usertype : PosixAccount (rfc2307)

Contexts : ou=people,dc=domain,dc=edu,dc=my;vd=student.domain.edu.my,o=hosting,dc=domain,dc=edu,dc=my;vd=pps.domain.my,o=hosting,dc=domain,dc=edu,dc=my (we also try use dc=domain,dc=edu,dc=my)

Search Subcontets : Yes

Dreference Aliases : No

User Attribute : Uid (we also try use blank)

Member attribute : blank

Member attribute uses dn : blank

Object Class : blank

Others is as is

We also try use to ldapsearch function and the log as below . 

elearning5# ldapsearch -x -b 'dc=domain,dc=edu,dc=my' -h 192.168.123.12 'uid=studentid'

1. extended LDIF
   #
2. LDAPv3
3. base <dc=domain,dc=edu,dc=domain> with scope subtree
4. filter: uid=studentid
5. requesting: ALL
   #

1. studentid@mydomain.my, student.domain.my, hosting, domain.my
   dn: mail=studentid@student.domain.my,vd=student.domain.my,o=hosting,dc=domain,dc=
   edu,dc=my
   cn: John Doe
   mail: studentid@mydomain.my
   uid: studentid
   objectClass: top
   objectClass: inetOrgPerson
   objectClass: VirtualMailAccount
   objectClass: Vacation
   objectClass: amavisAccount
   objectClass: VirtualForward
   objectClass: domainObject
   sn: johndoe

1. search result
   search: 2
   result: 0 Success

1. numResponses: 2
2. numEntries: 1

We don't have anyproblem to login using staff id which i believe in a top layer. What we know from our ldap guy, our student ldap use virtual domain for our student (vd=student.domain.my, o=hosting, dc=domain, dc=my) 

For your information, we also use the same configuration for our moodle 1.9 and there is no problem with it. Only after migrate to moodle 2.4 we do have a problem and i setup a test environment which is looks like it also have problem with moodle 2.3

We also try to do ldap sync script  in moodle 2.3 and do setup with only student context and the login for student still not working and the script output is : 

Connecting to LDAP server...
Creating temporary table tmp_extuser
Did not get any users from LDAP -- error? -- exiting

Thanks a lot
