LDAP settings are always very unique to an institution, so it is hard to
provide very generic documentation and advice.
A few tips though:
- Out of the box DSpace will only support a flat LDAP structure where are
users are in a single OU. If this is not the case, you'll have to try this
patch, until it becomes a part of core DSpace:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1597831&group_id=19
984&atid=319984
- Try using an LDAP browser (e.g.
http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~gawor/ldap/download.html). Test your settings
in this, and once they work, enter them into the DSpace configuration. The
LDAP browser is a lot easier to use and diagnose connection problems with,
than directly in DSpace.
Thanks,
Stuart
