Forum OpenACS Q&A: LDAP authentication driver latest version is at oacs-5-2

Hi,

I'm doing some testing to use LDAP in one of my site and I spent sometime figuring out how to install, which versions, etc. It appears that the latest version of auth-ldap is at oacs-5-2 branch and has not been merged to HEAD.

That version provides bind authentication, set through a parameter (before was hard-coded), adds the MergeUser implementation to the authentication contract and fixes some missing stuff like reading the BaseDN parameter value to add it as a suffix of the DN.

Can we have this version merged to HEAD since, beside the added features, it's the one actually compatible with the last version of acs-authentication?

This would be very helpful. We've been using auth-ldap v1.1 (oacs-5-2 branch) with 5.3.2 instances for a while and haven't had any problem.
I'm going to merge it then.
Merged! auth-ldap 1.1 is now available on HEAD
