Thread:Extension talk:LDAP Authentication/SSL Problem MS AD - Can't enable loggin either/reply (3)

I began writing my patch, but didn't go very far... I ran in a few problems since Mantis doesn't do authentication exactly in the same way...

In the end, I just gave up, and put the Full DN to a single group, and added all the users to that group. Since it isn't a big group, it wasn't too bad. As long as no subtree search was required, I'm ok!

The problem lies with the ldap extension in PHP, and it's that component that should be fixed in the end...

Plus, my patch wouldn't have been really great, putting a much larger load on LDAP. What I did for mantis, is to configure an array of DNs in the config file, and try them all, one after the other, until I get a good result, or returned the last failure. Not a great patch, just a quick and dirty workaround, which is all I needed!
