Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/lldap/lldap/issues/364

hello all,

i have lldap installed on my unraid nas and i am currently trying to understand how an application can access it.

The dn is set to dc=example,dc=org.

Now I am trying to connect emby to it, however I am not clear what settings it needs now.

The log of lldap shows me that the connection works.

2022-11-03T09:01:25.642002244+00:00 INFO     LDAP session [ 115µs | 61.14% / 100.00% ]
2022-11-03T09:01:25.648153101+00:00 INFO     ┕━ LDAP request [ 44.7µs | 38.86% ]

But i cant login with a tester user, emby claims all time that the credentials are wrong.

Maybe someone can help here?

Have you had a look at the provided example_configs?

A little LDAP vocabulary: DN is distinguished name, the full identifier for
a user or group. The bind DN is the admin user name, and the credentials is
the password.

The user search base is where you have users stored, so "ou=people,
DC=example, DC=com".
The user filter is how to find a user trying to log in, so you can have
(uid={0}) for the basic login, or you can make it so they can log in with
email as well, or restrict them to a specific group.

What application is that config for? Once you get it working, I'd
appreciate if you could contribute your configuration for the next person.

It is for emby :)
i tried it not this way (like the example):

but im not sure about that bind credentials field, what have to be there. Is that this JWT pw from docker or a pw from an admin user?

Because now i got this:

2022-11-03T09:54:56.560870520+00:00 ERROR       ┝━ 🚨 [error]:  | error: Authentication protocol error for `Protocol error: `This error results from an error during password verification``

I created a test user named "peter" and he is in the group "emby"

the sample config said changeme (replace with your password), so replace with your admin password.

Yes that was the problem :) now its working! Maybe it should be pointed out in the example that this admin / credentials are an admin of that ldap.

Thank you all :D
