1

Hello,
I have been having prblems getting AD to work with GitLab. I login the LDAP user and it goes straght to the error 500 page.

Result of the LDAP check:
pi@gitpi:~ $ sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:ldap:check
Checking LDAP ā€¦

LDAP users with access to your GitLab server (only showing the first 100 results)
Server: ldapmain

Checking LDAP ... Finished

My LDAP config in /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb:

gitlab_rails['ldap_enabled'] = true
gitlab_rails['ldap_servers'] = YAML.load <<-'EOS' # remember to close this block with 'EOS' below
   main: # 'main' is the GitLab 'provider ID' of this LDAP server
     label: 'LDAP'
     host: 'SERVER'
     port: 389
     uid: 'uid'
     method: 'plan' # "tls" or "ssl" or "plain"
     bind_dn: 'CN=[RETRACTED],OU=Users,OU=[RETRACTED],DC=[RETRACTED],DC=local'
     password: '[RETRACTED]'
     active_directory: true
     allow_username_or_email_login: false
     block_auto_created_users: false
     base: 'OU=DAWSON,DC=dawson,DC=local'
#     user_filter: ''
     attributes:
       username: 'sAMAccountName'
       email:    'mail'
       name:       'cn'
       first_name: 'givenName'
       last_name:  'sn'
EOS

Any help would be most appreciated. Iā€™m using Gitlab 2.7.2.

Kind Regards,
DD

Can you check the logs to see what the actual error is?

Hello again,

I feel so silly:

method: 'plan' # "tls" or "ssl" or "plain"
            ^

Ooops.
Thanks for your help anyway,

Kind Regards,
DD
