Hi,

I am using LDAPContrib plugin for user authentication, it worked for current LDAP users. But when I added a new user on LDAP server, it does not reflect on my TWiki user list and the new user is not able to login on TWiki.

When I refreshed the LDAP cache from command prompt it shows following error.

view: Use of uninitialized value in hash element at /var/www/html/twiki/lib/TWiki/UI.pm line 118.

Discussion and Answer

There is a button to refresh the cache, visit your TWiki.LdapContrib topic. You can also simply delete twiki/working/work_areas/LdapContrib/chache.db. If you copy things around make sure that all files and dirs below twiki/working are owned by the apache user.

Yes, using refresh button the cache gets updated. I have checked permissions for twiki/working directory and its owned by apache user. I want to set daily basis cron to update cache file but the given cronjob shows error for UI.pm file.

Please help!!

Try delete twiki/working/work_areas/LdapContrib/chache.db with a cronjob, this should work.

This should also work on cron: cd /path/to/twiki/bin; ./view refreshldap=on

LDAP cache doesn't seems to update deleted members from LDAP group. In other words, it appends to existing cache rather than complete refresh. Is this a bug?

Possibly a bug. You can file a report at TWikibug:LdapContrib.
