Thanks Adam. We eventually solved the problem by looking at the live LDAP log while trying to log in. The problem was caused by the filter setting that was used to connect to the LDAP server. In soldapprovider.py the filter is set use sAMAccountName. Somehow this was being passed as a blank filter setting to the LDAP server. This server was set to authenticate on uid and not sAMAccountName. Simply by changing that line the script worked.
So for completeness sake here follows our steps: 1. Save the soldapprovider.py file to turbogears/identity/. 2. Edit your TG setup.py and include the following in the section under [turbogears.identity.provider]. soldap = turbogears.identity.soldapprovider:SoLdapIdentityProvider 3. Rebuild TG. 4. In your project edit app.cfg and add the following: identity.provider="soldapprovider" identity.soldapprovider.host = "hostname" identity.soldapprovider.basedn = "basedn settings seperated by commas" identity.soldapprovider.autocreate = "True" 5. All the users that want to authenticate through LDAP must have an entry in tg_user table on your local machine. Do not put in any passwords in. 6. Run your project. The part about the user are a bit strange. We thought that the autocreate settin would populate the database for you, but the again we didn't go into this. We simply added a user without a password into tg_user with Catwalk. Hope this helps other people as well.
