LDAP error when first logging in as admin (and LDAP doesn't seem to work)

[jdaviescoates]

Also can't login with Cloudron Users despite having chosen that at install.

I can reproduce this as well. Looks like something is wrong with LDAP configs of the app. Have to investigate.

[nebulon]

It looks like this needs upstream fixes in the code with much more further debugging.
So I guess this has to wait a bit to get fixed and thus it will remain marked as unstable for the moment until we have time to dig into the calibre-web codebase.

Fair enough. I'm looking forward to LDAP (or even just new account creation) working so I can more easily share books with my team

[Grienauer]

is there already an issue over on their git account? have not found one.

@grienauer I think https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web/issues/1656 but I haven't found the time to learn some python and submit a PR.

[jdaviescoates]

@girish I wonder if any of the @appdev lot who know python may be able to help?

It'd be great to have LDAP working with Calibre Web!

It looks like that issue is waiting for your input @girish

I just came back here to say:

Calibre is listed as having LDAP over on:
https://www.cloudron.io/appstatus.html

But given it doesn't work at all, that isn't currently correct

[girish]

@jdaviescoates yeah, I think it's best to remove LDAP support from the app since it's unlikely I can create the PR anytime soon. I have to learn python among other things.

[jdaviescoates]

@girish makes sense.

I also can't help noticing the app has been stuck in "unstable" for ages - is that just because the LDAP wasn't working?

[girish]

@jdaviescoates yes, pretty much. I am going to give myself one more month, before removing LDAP...
