Robert and or anyone that can assist.  2 quick questions…

 

  1. Do you have any instructions on how to install the correct PERL Ldap modules?
  2. When you login to OTRS do you use the username or domain\username?

 

 

Thanks for any help offered. I have been chasing this issue for well over a month.

Edward,

Thanks for the suggestion.  I copied your configuration and now have both agents and customers successfully logging in with authentication against our AD server.

Thanks!!!

Robert,

I would suggest trying to simplify the configurations by removing the
AlwaysFilter and specifying the root of your Active Directory as the
BaseDN. Once it authenticates properly you can start customizing and
narrowing the BaseDN scope.

Here is an excerpt from Config.pm which I just tested on our dev
environment as we don't use the customer interface in production. It
properly authenticated and pulled in all the proper values into OTRS...

     # --- Customer ---
     $Self->{'Customer::AuthModule'} =
'Kernel::System::CustomerAuth::LDAP';
     $Self->{'Customer::AuthModule::LDAP::Host'} = ' ad.groupkae.com';
     $Self->{'Customer::AuthModule::LDAP::BaseDN'} =
'ou=Customer,dc=ad,dc=groupkae,dc=com';
     $Self->{'Customer::AuthModule::LDAP::UID'} = 'sAMAccountName';
     $Self->{'Customer::AuthModule::LDAP::SearchUserDN'} =
'ldap@ad.groupkae.com';
     $Self->{'Customer::AuthModule::LDAP::SearchUserPw'} = 'password';

     $Self->{CustomerUser} = {
       Module => 'Kernel::System::CustomerUser::LDAP',
       Params => {
       Host => 'ad.groupkae.com',
       BaseDN => 'ou=Customer,dc=ad,dc=groupkae,dc=com',
       SSCOPE => 'sub',
       UserDN =>'ldap@ad.groupkae.com',
       UserPw => 'password',
     },

     CustomerKey => 'sAMAccountName',
     CustomerID => 'mail',
     CustomerUserListFields => ['sAMAccountName', 'cn', 'mail'],
     CustomerUserSearchFields => ['sAMAccountName', 'cn', 'mail'],
     CustomerUserSearchPrefix => '',
     CustomerUserSearchSuffix => '*',
     CustomerUserSearchListLimit => 250,
     CustomerUserPostMasterSearchFields => ['mail'],
     CustomerUserNameFields => ['givenname', 'sn'],
     Map => [
       [ 'UserFirstname', 'Firstname', 'givenname', 1, 1, 'var' ],
       [ 'UserLastname', 'Lastname', 'sn', 1, 1, 'var' ],
       [ 'UserLogin', 'Login', 'sAMAccountName', 1, 1, 'var' ],
       [ 'UserEmail', 'Email', 'mail', 1, 1, 'var' ],
       [ 'UserCustomerID', 'CustomerID', 'mail', 0, 1, 'var' ],
       [ 'UserPhone', 'Phone', 'telephonenumber', 1, 0, 'var' ],
     ],
};
