[ZendTo] Re: LDAP not setting 'Your name' in the Upload page

[Brad Beckenhauer]

grin...  yes, I'm putting the file in the right place... and unzipped.   thanks for the laugh, I enjoy it.
 
I did an ldapsearch from the zendto server against my ldap server and discovered that the zendto server cannot see the fullName attribute.  Apparently I can only see the fullName attribute when I'm authenticated to the network.  I feel stupid for not checking that one and having you work try to debug my mistake.  I'm sorry.
 
So I used the ldapsearch utility from the zendto server to see what information was available publically.
 
Using your last authenticator, I started varied what attribute the authenticator was looking for to see if it made a difference.
 
I found that if I changed it to search for gidNumber or uidNumber, then the webpage populated.   I tried other attributes as well without success and I'll send the results of the ldapsearch to you off list.

That's weird. As a last attempt, try this version. If this doesn't work, then please double check that you're putting the right file in the right place.

Okay, try this one instead.

I tried the new Authenticator you provide and it did not fix the Your name field.
 
I used an ldap browser to see what attributes existed.
 
attribute:  fullName     contains my Full name ( First name and Last name
attribute:  givenName  contains my first name
attribute:  cn               contains my first initial, last name
attribute:  uid              contains my first initial, last name
 
Since the DisplayName attribute does not exist (in my case) perhaps a check to against DisplayName and if null/not exist then check for the existence of fullName else use cn to populate the User name field? 
 
thank you for your efforts!

Hi Julian,
 
LDAP authentication is working, but when I started testing the web interface today I found an issue in the Drop-Off (upload) page as shown in the graphic below.
Notice that the "Your name" field is set to '0' (zero).
It will almost certainly use "displayName" for the "Your name", you may need to use "cn" instead in LDAP.

Try the attached NSSLDAPAuthenticator.php file.
