I installed the active Directory component, yet I still get the following error.
LDAP libraries not installed! To install them, log into the server, and run 'yum install php-ldap'.
But i get this when I follow the instructions:
[root@nagios ~]# yum install php-ldap
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile

First time you tried it, was it installed already? If not, did you try restarting apache?

OK, restarted Apache, it accepted my settings, now for the 2 dollar question, i logged out and tried to log on using my active dir credentials, no good.
Is there something else that needs to be setup?

Nope, as long as your settings are correct it should be using your AD password. One of the settings must be incorrect.
Code: Select all
Enabled - checked
Account Suffix - @domain.domain.com
base DN - dc=whatever,dc=whatever,dc=com
domain controllers - machine name or IP
Security - none
That's what my setup looks like, just with real information.

Also, might be some security setting on the domain controller to allow anonymous lookup, I can't recall.

Has to be a user setup in XI. Username in XI has to match a username in AD for it to work, otherwise, if AD is down or no user founf it reverts to use the XI password that user was setup with.

You create a new user in XI and give it whatever password you want. The user never has to login with that password and just always uses their AD password. One less password for the user to have to remember.
