[TYPO3] ldap problem

[Strader, William A.]

I was able to get it to work with eu_ldap...

Here is what I did...

I made a SysFolder called LDAP

I created a new page and made it do the Root Store Directory to be the LDAP
(I think that is what it is called... You know where you can set it to save
records on page creation)... Then I added the Better-Login page... And it
works :)

Thanks,

hi,

i had the same problem with the better_loginbox. couldn't figure out  
what was wrong. I concluded that the better-loginbox doesn't work with  
ldap-users.

The solution is pretty simple:

Download macina_loginbox, or search for Macina in the TER. it has the  
same features as the better_loginbox and it works with ldap. read the  
manual for setup

Hope this helps

greets

nico
