Hi,

Newbie question...

I am trying to set up LDAP integration with Mahara, but when i create an institution i am not able to select the LDAP option (its greyed out) - when i go into 'Administer Extensions' LDAP is listed as an installed plugin (of type auth).

Confused, any help much appreciated.

Thanks

If the option is greyed out it may be because the PHP LDAP module is not installed and/or enabled.

Check in your phpinfo.php (create one if necessary).

If you can upload files to your server via FTP (with FileZilla or sometnihg similar) than you can do this:

1. create new file in Notepad or some similar text editor.
2. write the following line to that file:
   <?php phpinfo(); ?>
3. save file as let's say abcdef.php
4. upload it to your server
5. in your web browser type the address:
   http://your.server.com/abcdef.php

This way you'll be able to see server's php info...

Solved

There was a proxy address issue which had been updated without our knowledge. We then had some ldap libraries missing - which we installed, and now it works.

Thanks all.
