Zimbra and Glpi ldap integration

karpuzvepeynir · Post by **karpuzvepeynir** » Thu Nov 26, 2009 2:29 am

Hello all,
Is it possible to make Glpi user authentication from Zimbra's user database?
I don't want to create users in Glpi database. I have already running Zimbra in my network. All Zimbra users can log in to Glpi that all I want.
Thanks.

G'day all
well I had the same task today and i was able to finish it thanks to the glpi documentation here: GLPI-Wiki/wiki/doku.php?id=en:ldap
just remember to install any missing library and keep in mind that the Zimbra's LDAP is just a normal LDAP, read and follow the instruction and you'll be able to do it too
cheers

I read the instructions but I can not make it work.

What am I supposed to type into the Login Field? This is just for AD right?
Connecting to the LDAP with Thunderbird or the java LDAP EditorBrowser would require the same settings and they work fine....
Thanks for any suggestions!
Josef

I use GLPI with Active Directory and provide user logon name (samaccountname) in GLPI "Login field".

samaccountname not exist in Zimbra LDAP, so try use "uid".

And change GLPI LDAP Authentication "Connection filter" from default "(&(objectClass=user)(objectCategory=person)(!(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)))" to some like:

(&(objectClass=zimbraAccount)(zimbraAccountStatus=active))
Good luck!

Thanks ChaSer, but unfortunately "uid" did not solve my problem.
I know that I just can connect to the LDAP using protocol version 3, does GLPI support that? (Or can I force it to use LDAPv3?)
Thanks again!

I figured it out. It's a bug.
If the password contains the symbol ">" it gets stored wrong in the mySQL DB.
May I ask one more question please?
When I search for users, none are found. When I search for groups, all the users are found.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks again!

Basedn:

Are You search in GLPI (in which menu) or somewhere else ?

We use GLPI also and it uses the Zimbra LDAP so it is possible.
Our basedn is ou=people, dc=domain,dc=domain,dc=domain (domain is hidden)

login field is uid
