ReviewBoard 4.0,2 + issue with LDAP based authentication

[harish.va...@gmail.com]

Hi All,

we are getting the below error with LDAP (per httpd error_log) post upgrade to RB 4.0.2 and site upgrade.

[Sat Jun 26 17:36:20.653513 2021] [:error] [pid 24262] TypeError: initialize() got an unexpected keyword argument 'bytes_mode'

Any idea on how to fix this.

Hi Harish,

I too faced the same problem some time back while setting the LDAP authentication.

Please refer the below link

http://138.201.16.208/codesearch/raw/2595363/

In the class LDAPBackend, the actual code needs to modify as per the above link.

the above link helped me to solve this. Hope it solves yours.

thanks & Regards,

M Raghuveer

You should just need to install the ReviewBoard[ldap] package to ensure you’re using a compatible version.

It looks to be an old python-ldap package. Could you check if the package is updated or should be atleast match the requirements?
