Frappe V 7.1-Beta: LDAP Dependancies

saurabh6790 · September 9, 2016, 1:07pm

Hello,

In Frappe V7.1-beta we introduced LDAP-based login. If update broke in between due to LDAP dependency, please install system dependencies

Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install libsasl2-dev python-dev libldap2-dev libssl-dev

CentOS/RHEL 6,

sudo yum install python-devel
sudo yum install openldap-devel

On OSX,

xcode-select --install

or

from frappe-bench

./env/bin/pip install python-ldap --global-option=build_ext --global-option="-I$(xcrun --show-sdk-path)/usr/include/sasl"

Then,

frappe-bench > ./env/bin/pip install python-ldap

Ref: module - I can't install python-ldap - Stack Overflow

@saurabh6790 can you make a bench patch for this?

Hi,

I followed the instruction, even upgraded to latest python-ldap and setuptools, but i still get the request to install python-ldap when trying to add the config.

frappe@pink:~/frappe-bench$ sudo pip install python-ldap --upgrade

miss the installation,
run ./env/bin/pip install python-ldap from frappe bench

bzero · October 19, 2016, 2:51pm

i already did, but it still doesn’t work.

vjFaLk · October 24, 2016, 10:06am

Do an update and try again

bzero · November 21, 2016, 5:06am

thanks @vjFaLk
After pulling new update, the error is now gone.

By now, i’d like to know how to login as ldap users, cause i don’t see the field for login as ldap at login page? other saying, how could i import existing LDAP users into ERPNext?

In addition, i have another question, is that possible to add a specific LDAP setting for website users as customer users?
ex: i have two LDAP OU
ou=users,dc=company,dc=com
ou=customers,dc=company,dc=com

For employee login, LDAP will only allow from “ou=users”, and for customer login or website login, only “ou=customers” is allowed.

Thanks in advanced.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuGzzz9UAkc

Basically, i missed to integration Ldap service after configuration LDAP setting.

still waiting idea about last question.
Thanks a lot.

This worked!

Hi,

Please share your learning, just a few sentences…

What did not work and what you did to resolve it?

And what version - just run ‘bench version’ if you are self hosted.

Thanks!

Abhinav_Jain · April 21, 2018, 5:41am

I’m using bench 4.1.0 and I wanted to connect ERPNext through the Yunohost.

I followed the instruction given here for LDAP setup - How to configure yunohost.org LDAP server for Frappe / ERPNext

When it gave me the error, I logged in as a default frappe user (I gave another name while installing) and update the bench with bench update and ensured that I’m on master chain by adding “bench switch-to-master”.

It was still giving errors so I followed Saurabh’s suggestion as ran - ./env/bin/pip install python-ldap from the frappe-bench.

And that it started to work.

clarkej · April 21, 2018, 5:59am

Excellent contribution thanks!

RAurelian · October 22, 2018, 8:20am

Hi all,

I`m having the same LDAP not installed prompt in ERPNext when trying to configure LDAP: LDAP not installed error when configuring LDAP integration, although it`s actually installed

I tried all of the suggestions here but without any help. Any ideas on what to do next? Or is there a log where I could look to get more clues about what is wrong?

Abhinav_Jain · October 25, 2018, 2:38am

Try switching bench to master by “bench switch-to-master” and see whether it gets fixed.

RAurelian · October 25, 2018, 8:19am

OK, but why would I not be on the master branch? Does the Easy install method install something else?

Also, can this command mess anything up with the ERPNext installation?

RAurelian · October 26, 2018, 9:51am

OK, I switched to master but that changed nothing and LDAP still throws the same error. I am now running:
ERPNext: v10.1.64 (master)
Frappe Framework: v10.1.56 (master)

Any other ideas?

RAurelian · October 30, 2018, 9:04am

Is anyone else successfully synchronizing ERPNext with LDAP in the last version?
