Hello, I am installing a new version of our Zope/Plone software for
hosting our web portal. The new software is using a product called
PloneLDAP, which (I think) in turn requests authentication using openLDAP client.
openLDAP is authenticating through our mail server, which wants bind
requests in version 2 format. Modification of the mail server software to use
version 3 authentication does not seem to be an option, as (according to my
Tech guy) it is “really not LDAP”, but has an “LDAP
Like” interface. The interface requires the bind to look like this: ldapConnection, userid, password not in version 3 format, which looks like this: ldapConnection,
uid=”userid”, password I have tried to force openLDAP client to perform bind requests using the “ldap_version 2” parameter in the /usr/local/etc/openldap/ldap.conf system-wide ldap configuration file, and also in a .ldaprc file stored in the Zope working directory. Neither seem to work. Can anyone tell me how to successfully configure openLDAP to send a version 2 bind request?
Thanks!
Ken
