Foswiki and LDAP authentication

Question

I have a problem with connecting foswiki to ldap. I want to authenticate users against LDAP directory (as it is stated in the requirements of school seminar work ). But it doesn't work. When I try to login with my name already saved in LDAP, it just writes "Oops: we could not recognize you. Try again or reset your password.". I will be thankful for any help and I will provide any further information necessary.

I am trying to login with name MarianBaca and here is the output of ldapsearch -H ldap://localhost -b dc=bis01,dc=vse,dc=cz -x '(givenName=Marian)'

Since your pasted foswiki configuration has been removed, I will try to answer to my best knowledge.

• I am assuming you are using LdapContrib
• Ensure your UserMappingManager is set to Foswiki::Users::LdapUserMapping.
• Ensure your PasswordManager is set to something sensible, i.e. Foswiki::Users::LdapPasswduser
