SID-00941: Problems configuring LdapContrib

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	5.0.0	Perl version:	5.10.1
Category:	LdapContrib	Server OS:	Ubuntu Server 10.04 x86 2.6.32-21	Last update:	13 years ago

My previous support ticket was ignored (http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Support/SID-00918), So to move forwards I've gone ahead and started afresh on a VM with the latest build of Ubuntu Server and the latest version of Twiki (in order to have working TinyMCE).

I'm now having issues when attempting to install the LdapContrib plugin, I've attempted to go via the browser as well as on the command line.

Here is the output from using <verbatim>configure</verbatim> in the browser.

Here is the output from running via the command line: <verbatim>sudo perl LdapContrib_installer</verbatim>

The installer gets as far as this and just sits doing nothing:

<verbatim>Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Warning: prerequisite Digest::HMAC_MD5 0 not found. Writing Makefile for Authen::SASL Could not read '/home/riviera/.cpan/build/Authen-SASL-2.15-uxXA6z/META.yml'. Falling back to other methods to determine prerequisites

Does anyone have any ideas on how to get LdapContrib working on Twiki 5.0?

Discussion and Answer

Resolved with the following packages:

sudo apt-get install libauthen-sasl-perl libnet-ldap-perl rcs

... then a lot of screwing around with the Ldap entries in the LocalSite.cfg

Thanks

Here is my cron.daily script to update the Ldap entries:

#!/bin/sh # # cd /var/www/twiki/bin && ./view refreshldap=on Main/WebHome >/dev/null chown www-data:www-data /var/www/twiki/working/work_areas/* -R >/dev/null

remember to chmod +x it.

also, I forgot to add these additional packages to my previous post:

sudo apt-get install libunicode-maputf8-perl libcgi-network-perl

The insecure dependency error when running the configure script is now fixed in TWikibug:Item6534. Action you can take:

• Workaround: Remove the T switch in the first line of file twiki/bin/configure.
• Manual fix: Please apply patch in TWikibug:Item6534 dated 2012-09-17.
• Wait for fix: The fix will be released in the upcoming TWiki-5.1.2 release (in a few weeks).
