Egroupware login using ldap

[KevinMcG]

Hello,

I have configured a LDAP (Ubuntu 14.04) server using the default settings. It has been shown to work with Redmine for example.

However, our Egroupware login is more of a challenge. Login and applications work fine without LDAP, but when logged in with a user created in LDAP. Egroupware shows a blank screen, without calendar, contacts etc. The LDAP user information can be seen in the lower right corner of the screen, and trying a bad passord fails as expected, so I’m certain EGroupware is communicating properly with LDAP.

The EGroupware has been installed on an Ubuntu 14.04 from the OpenSUSE repository (http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/eGroupWare/xUbuntu_14.04/), using the default settings. EGroupware has been configured to access LDAP like shown below:

What am I forgetting to do in Egroupware?

Thank you,
Kevin McG.

Hard to say, nothing you wrote above is wrong or indicates a problem.

LDAP connection is obviously working, as you can log on.

LDAP support in current EGroupware is working, we have a couple of LDAP
installations ourself.

First thing I would do is to look in Apache error.log …

Hey Ralf,

I have configured a LDAP (Ubuntu 14.04) server using the default
settings.

It has been shown to work with Redmine for example.

However, our Egroupware login is more of a challenge. Login and
applications

work fine without LDAP, but when logged in with a user created in LDAP.
Egroupware shows a blank screen, without calendar, contacts etc. The
LDAP

user information can be seen in the lower right corner of the screen,
and

trying a bad passord fails as expected, so I’m certain EGroupware is
communicating properly with LDAP.

Please find the Apache error log attached, obtained when logging into
EGroupware.

The only thing I can see there is the PHP deprecated warning for MySQL, but
that shouldn’t interfere with normal operation.

Do you see anything wrong happening in the log?

Thank you,
Kevin McGuinness
