LDAP authentication fails in Bugzilla

Hi all ,

I have configured Bugzilla .I have enabled both 'DB' and 'LDAP' for the authentication in the params file.Here are my details

Code:

          'LDAPBaseDN' => 'OU=thy,OU=eQobjects,DC=xyz,DC=com',

          'LDAPbinddn' => 'CN=admin;CN=Users;DC=xyz;DC=com:abc123',



          'LDAPmailattribute' => 'mail',

          'LDAPserver' => 'ldap://ntp:389',



          'LDAPuidattribute' => 'mail',



          'user_verify_class' => 'DB,LDAP',

FYI i am using Windows Active directory running under windows 2003 server.

admin is the user name in the CN=Users which is in turn contained in 'OU=thy,OU=eQobjects,DC=xyz,DC=com', and abc123 is the password for the
admin user

I am presently using another account(type DB account) for logging in bugzilla interface and doing the configuration.

Now my problem is whenever i am trying to authenticate the bugzilla with the ldap users

i am getting the error "The username or password you entered is not valid." and some times i get "FAILED TO BIND THE LDAP SERVER".Have i done anything wrong in the ldap configuration settings? Please help me .Thanks in advance.

well can you do an ldapsearch outside of bugzilla using the same credentials?

Hi Chris thanks for your valuable suggestion.

ldapsearch -x -b "OU=Users,OU=thy,OU=eQobjects,DC=xyz,DC=com" -W -D "CN=admin,CN=Users,DC=xyz,DC=com"

Runs successfully and returns all the objects ..
All of my users are getting listed...Same parameters i set in bugzilla.When i checked it the 'admin' user got added in the bugzilla user list.But when i tried to login with other users(Users in the OU=Users) the authentication fails with the error message 'Invalid username and password'...Any ideas will be greatly appreciated...Thanks in advance.....

Well for a start the binddn is not valid syntactically.

Personally *I* would use a track sniffing tool (i.e. wireshark) to capture and analyze the LDAP bind. compare and contrast an ldapsearch with the failing Bugzilla attempt, and that should give you a lot of useful information
