Hi Piers,

This is for a client that is using centos.

openldap 2.3.43-12.el5_6.7
php-ldap 5.3.3-1.el5_6.1

I havent' installed the cert chain for them yet, instead have temporary
disabled the check with TLS_REQCERT never.

It works with the patch I provide, and not without.

It could just be problems with that version of php, or ldap. I think the
patch I supplied doesn't break current functionality on working clients,
and fixes it on broken clients, so it is probably for the best.

Cheers,

Hugh

Title:
  ldap auth plugin doesn't allow alternate ports

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  This is probably two problems, one with php, and one with mahara.
  If you specify a host url as ldaps://ldapserver you would expect it to connect to port 636, but instead it tries the default for ldap 389.
  I thought you would be able to specify a hosturl as ldaps://ldapserver:636 to specify a port, but mahara doesn't parse this and call the connect function properly

  I will submit a fix to the second issue first, but do people think it
  is worth filing a bug upstream to php about not choosing 636 as
  default for ldaps

  Cheers,

  Hugh
