Hi,

I am working on integrating LDAP authentication in TWiki.

I have done all the settings as per the topic at link - http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/TWiki/ApacheLdapAuthSetup but its not working.

I am on Cent Os. As described on the link above If I comment line for .htpasswd and other 2 lines also and added lines for LDAP authentication still it authenticates users against .htpasswd i.e the users I have created before these changes.I have restarted apache after these changes. When I logout it comes on Twiki Login page and there it accepts user name and pasword for users which are already created and authenticates against .htpasswd file which is commented in twiki.config but not against LDAP directory. twiki.config file was generated using TWiki:TWiki.ApacheConfigGenerator

Please advice.

Thank you.

I'm having the same problem. What was the solution to your problem?

Thank you, Lewis

The LdapContrib is likely a better alternative to the manual setup described in ApacheLdapAuthSetup.

LDAP configuration can be tricky to get right. If you want to get up to speed quickly and would like to support the TWiki project you can hire a TWiki consultant.
