Can't connect LDAP Server

  • I have not yet investigated further, but this seems to be a problem with PHP 5.6 rather than WordPress.

    I upgraded my server from Debian Wheezy to Jessie, which also updated PHP from the Dotdeb 5.5 version to 5.6. The result was that WordPress could not connect the LDAP server anymore (“ldap_login_password_and_role_manager.php: unable to connect to LDAP server in function ldap_login_password_and_role_manager_can_authenticate()”). After a little digging, I found that calling ldap_connect with a space-separated list of hosts (or one host followed by a space) does not seem to work (anymore?).

    I solved this by adding
    $ldaphosts = trim($ldaphosts);
    after line 106 in ldap_login_password_and_role_manager.php. That got it working with my setup of one LDAP server. However, I don’t know how about multi-server setups since I only use this one server.

  • Same Problem for me, same resolution.

    Line 229

    ldap_login_password_and_role_manager.php:229

    if ( ! $ldap_login_password_and_role_manager_ldap = ldap_connect(trim(LDAP_HOST), LDAP_PORT) ) {
    ldap_login_password_and_role_manager_logger(array('message'=>'unable to connect to LDAP server in function '.__FUNCTION__.'()','priority'=>'local0.notice','tag'=>basename(__FILE__)));
    return array($result,null);
  }

    Same here, so no update available for LDAP LPRM for php 5.6 environments till today (10.11.2015).

    The fix from above works like a charm for me, too.
