[Bug 788029] [NEW] LDAP/AD new user without email field cannot logon

 

Public bug reported:

Mahara v1.3.6
Linux 2.6.18-238.5.1.el5 (Centos 64bit)
PHP 5.2.10 (cli) (built: Nov 13 2009 11:44:05)
Copyright (c) 1997-2009 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2009 Zend Technologies
Apache/2.2.3
mysql-server-5.0.77-4.el5_5.5

We have an institution setup with MS Active directory authentication. If
a new user logs on and does not have the email field setup in AD, you
are prompted to enter the email address and you are logged on
successfully. You can then access Mahara, change your profile etc.
However if you log off you cannot log back on. Mahara just displays
"probably a bug".

This is our AD settings

 Authority name: students
 Host URL: ldap://ad.mydomain.ac.uk 
 Contexts: OU=University,DC=mydomain,DC=ac,DC=uk
 User type: MS ActiveDirectory
 User attribute: sAMAccountName
 Search subcontexts: Yes
 Distinguished name: CN=ldap mahara,OU=accts,DC=mydomain,DC=ac,DC=uk
 Password: ldap mahara password
 LDAP version: 3
 Update user info on login: Yes
 We auto-create users: Yes
 LDAP field for First Name: givenName
 LDAP field for Surname: sn
 LDAP field for Email: mail

 Apache errors attached (we use https so ssl_error_log).
