LDAP authentication requires the python-ldap library, which is not installed
wasim
I'm new to ReviewBoard, I installed it today. I installed it on
Windows and would like to use LDAP or AD authentication. On the
settings page when I change the authentication method to LDAP I get a
message in red "LDAP authentication requires the python-ldap library,
which is not installed". I think its installed because I ran
"easy_install python-ldap" and it went through without any errors and
I rebooted the server after installing it. I have no Python background
but I have solid background in LDAP, AD, Apache, Windows Server, MS
SQL, Perl and C# if any of that helps. I appreciate the help in
advance.
Thank you,
Wasim

ReviewBoard on the general settings page under the LDAP Server box.
The box is grayed out so I can't enter the server address and the the
message is under it. Like below
LDAP Server: [greyed out box would be here]
The LDAP server to authenticate with. For example: ldap://localhost:389
(in red font)LDAP authentication requires the python-ldap library,
which is not installed.

version of python on your machine. For example if you have 2.5 and
2.6 and the easy_install you used is 2.5, the libraries will be
installed there. When you start RB may be using 2.6, hence the error
message.
I don't have the resources at hand, but you can google how to
determine where easy_install is putting the libraries.

Sorry for the late reply. I only have 2.5 on that machine I never
installed python before. I solved the problem! I installed OpenLDAP
2.4.10 then added its bin directory to my path. Which got import ldap
to work but still gave me the same error, so I commented out the
triggering of the error and it worked. In checks.py in the following
lines:
def get_can_enable_ldap():
"""
Checks whether LDAP authentication can be enabled.
"""
try:
imp.find_module("ldap")
return (True, None)
except ImportError:
return (False, _(
'LDAP authentication requires the python-ldap library,
which '
'is not installed.'
))
I just commented out return false and wrote return true and it worked!
I tried with a bogus login and it didn't work which tells me it's not
letting just anyone pass. Thanks for the quick response Noah.
Thank you,
Wasim

Try instead to replace the 'imp.find_module("ldap")' with 'import ldap'
Sometimes imp.find_module doesn't work, on some installs. This is a Python packaging issue.

this to be a solution it was just a coincidence. I also can't stress
enough a fact in the second sentence of my first post on how this is a
WINDOWS box. Not to mention how I know 0 python and whatever I say
here should be taken with a pound of salt. I will try the replacement
you recommended and let you know. Anyways I really appreciate the
help, you sent me in the right direction.
Thank you very much,
Wasim
