1: How to use dotLRn 2.0 with the university LDAP?
Posted by Joerg Winckler on 01/19/04 02:49 PM
Is it possible to use dotLRN 2.0 in conjunction with our LDAP server of the university? Can the system be configured to let the LDAP server verify the authentications (given the credentials)? Where do I have to look for?

best regards

Dear Joel,

sorry for the beginner question:
Can dotLRN automatically handle this module? Where do I do the configuration giving dotLRN the name of the LDAP server?

regards, joerg

BTW, one link in the documentation results in a security violation. Do I miss some relevant information there? It is "here/Installing LDAP support/install"

.LRN can handle the module; several people are running it in production or testing.  You configure it within the Admin page after you have installed it.

"one link in the documentation results in a security violation. Do I miss some relevant information there?"
That's a side effect:)  It's a link directly to the administrator page for the local machine, so that you can install the package.  If you are reading the documentation on your own machine, it should work.
