  • This is a bug, not a question or a configuration/webserver/proxy issue.

Bug description

In the admin logging I get the Error "Attempt for Paging?" from the user_ldap app.

Not sure if related, but the LDAP/AD integration interface says Configuration incorrect and that The Base DN appears to be wrong but when checking on command line everything appears to be correct

root@machine01:/var/www/nextcloud# sudo -u www-data ./occ ldap:test-config s03
The configuration is valid and the connection could be established!

Using google I stumbled into this https://github.com/owncloud/user_ldap/issues/423 which seems related.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Have a working LDAP config
  2. (Maybe due to update)
  3. Get error message in the Web interface
Expected behavior
  • Command line tool and Web interface return the self results from the config check
  • A more precise message why the base DN is wrong when everything appears to work fine

Research direction

Start with the user_ldap AJAX endpoint /apps/user_ldap/ajax/wizard.php and compare its configuration check with occ ldap:test-config s03, using the reported Global Catalog setup on port 3269. Reproduce the Attempt for Paging? log entry and determine whether the web check can match the command-line result or provide a more precise Base DN error.
