Hi Hugh - I've tried doing a little separate testing of ldap_connect() and I find that it does parse ldap URIs - at least under my local conditions eg: <?php ldap_set_option(NULL, LDAP_OPT_DEBUG_LEVEL, 7); $server = 'ldap://localhost:999'; $ldap_login_user = 'cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com'; $extpassword = 'letmein'; $ldapconnection = ldap_connect($server); $ldap_login = @ldap_bind($ldapconnection, $ldap_login_user, $extpassword);
The debugging shows the attempted socket connection being made. Is it a PHP version problem, or perhaps it's cert/tls issue?

If you specify a host url as ldaps://ldapserver you would expect it to connect to port 636, but instead it tries the default for ldap 389. I thought you would be able to specify a hosturl as ldaps://ldapserver:636 to specify a port, but mahara doesn't parse this and call the connect function properly I will submit a fix to the second issue first, but do people think it is worth filing a bug upstream to php about not choosing 636 as default for ldaps Cheers, Hugh To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/812057/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mahara-core Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mahara-core More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
