I have a couple quick questions about the ldapauth module for Postnuke. I just setup a new Netware 6.5 server and have installed Postnuke. I have installed the ldapauth 0.2 module. I've setup dstrace on the server so I can view all LDAP communication. For some reason I can't get postnuke to communicate with my NW server. I do have LDAP working, and I can browse the tree using an LDAP browser. Any suggestions would be wonderful.

My second question is an extension of the first. Once I get LDAP running, can I specify multiple search bases? Our system is setup to have one server for each school. I do not want all of the users to be able to authenticate into Postnuke. Bascially I want 2 of the building to be able to log in and all the other to have to register.

Thanks again for the help.

Are you getting LDAP comm within DStrace when you try to log into PN using the LDAPAuth? If not, have you double checked the obvious..... LDAP module set to use LDAP and so forth. If you are getting LDAP comm, then tell me about the DStrace results.

Thank you for your response. I am now getting the LDAP module to work. I went and removed all the items I had added. Started again fresh and reinstalled LDAP and made the changes to pnuser. After that, it picked up and started working great. thanks again

Is there any tutorial on how to get postnuke to work with Netware?

What is required to be set up on Netware (maybe special settings)
and PHP (or Apache) to get it done?

Sorry for such stupid question - i am newbie in Netware..

Do you mean setting up PN CMS on Netware or setting up LDAP within PN to authenticate to eDirectory?

Once you get NAMP (Apache, MySQL, and PHP) setup, outside of proper rights to the directories and MySQL, nothing special is needed to set PN up. Novell has many tutorials for setting up NAMP. Then use PN docs to set up the PN site.

If you are doing a fresh install of Netware 6.5, one of the options is AMP (apache, mysql, and PHP). I used taht setup, and it runs great. After tthe server is installed, you just need to copy postnuke to the htdocs directory or wherever you have it setup.

Yes. Been awhile since I set this up but you just need to copy the PN|HTML directory contents to the htdocs directory then run install as stated by PN docs. You may need to manually create the phoenix DB and set permissions using myPHPAdmin. Pretty simple really.

I have been trying to get the LDAPAuth module working with Netware 6.0.
The dstrace results appear to show a valid query but the response to the client browser is 'LDAP server:resource id #56'.
Here is the trace:

I have some PHP scripts that I run to verify PHP LDAP functions are working and I'm able to login and extract info...but I'm not getting anywhere with the LDAP Auth module....
I'm running PostNuke 750 and eDirectory 8.7
This is a critical piece is moving PostNuke to production.
Any help would be appreciated....
