Moodle LDAP Error | Troubleshooting

by | May 5, 2024

Let’s see more about fixing LDAP error with Moodle. At Bobcares, with our Server Management Service, we can handle your issues.

Fixing LDAP Error with Moodle

LDAP errors in Moodle usually arise from problems with the LDAP settings or from issues connecting to an LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) server. These mistakes may take on different shapes based on the type of issue. When troubleshooting LDAP issues with the Moodle, we can take the following steps:

moodle ldap error

1. On Unix/Linux, using programs like ldapsearch may give better error reports than Moodle. This helps confirm whether Moodle or the LDAP server is the source of the problem.

2. If we get bind issues, check that the bind user is properly configured and has the required rights on the OU that contains the users.

3. A Moodle application server should be able to connect to the LDAP server. To check if port 389 (or port 636 for secure communications) is open, use telnet.

4. Using ldap_err2str(ldap_errno()), we can log LDAP errors in the PHP code to gain additional insight into the problem.

5. In the event that the Domain Controller (DC) has changed, a simple fix that prevents changes to the database is to update the hosts file on the Moodle server to point to the new DC’s IP.

6. We can use SQL queries to directly change Moodle’s database settings if needed. To modify the LDAP host URL.

We can take the above steps to identify and fix any problems with Moodle’s LDAP connection. Make sure all necessary setups and permissions are in place, and don’t forget to thoroughly verify each step.
