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.

[girish]

@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...

[anschein]

@girish I'm using cloudron for my family and friends about 20+ people,I'd like to see ldap work between calibre and cloudron.
So please ask for ldap support if is possible?
thx

And after a little test,maybe the problem is about LDAP groups?last I check groups settings also broken in nextcloud

[girish]

@anschein Cloudron groups do not integrate with groups inside the app. This is intentional. Cloudron LDAP only provides authentication and not authorization. Most group stuff is related to authorization.

However, Cloudron groups are exposed via LDAP. So, if you want, you can set this up yourself manually.

[nebulon]

I did some investigation on the LDAP integration with the outcome that it might not be possible to integrate this app at all currently. I have posted an issue for clarification on my understanding at https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web/issues/2652

If this is all true, then I guess we will remove LDAP support for the moment.

[nebulon]

We have removed LDAP, so will close this thread for now.
