Thanks Jeff Siegel, I was having a problem with another application and that solved my problem.

If your LDAP layout doesn’t have a single OU that contains all the Users, then you will have to set $g_ldap_root to the root of your domain, e.g. :
$g_ldap_root_dn = ‘DC=commscope,DC=com’;

But this causes an error with the ldap-search function. You’ll get a message like this:
SYSTEM WARNING: ldap_search() [function.ldap-search]: Search: Operations error

The solution is to edit function ldap_connect_bind(), and add this line:
if ( $t_protocol_version > 0 ) {
ldap_set_option( $t_ds, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, $t_protocol_version );
}

# Added by Jeff Siegel 6/8/2010. ldap_set_option($t_ds, LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS, 0);

Then the ldap-search() will work successfully.

Thanks for a very useful post which has enabled me to get Mantis to authenticate against LDAP ( slightly different method to what you posted however ), although it does result in random LDAP related errors elsewhere in Mantis which I need to find the cause to ( I’m very, very new to LDAP and hacking Mantis internals, but I know PHP.. )

I was just wondering if you have written the second article you alluded to in regards to having Mantis create accounts on successful LDAP authentication as this is obviously the next, and very important, step.

Cheers

I tried your solution and it work but it creates several bugs that are not adressed in this article. For example I have those errors in view_all_bug_page.php :

SYSTEM WARNING: ldap_search() [function.ldap-search]: Search: Operations error

SYSTEM WARNING: ldap_get_entries(): supplied argument is not a valid ldap result resource

SYSTEM WARNING: ldap_free_result(): supplied argument is not a valid ldap result resource

I am sure they need small tweeks to run but I am not an LDAP specialist and I am not sure how to repair them.

It’s no use rewriting mantis code, see here for more information:
