PeerTube: Can't use LDAP as login method [SOLVED]

[clacos]

What app is this about, and its version: PeerTube 7.3.0~ynh2
What YunoHost version are you running: 12.1.35
What type of hardware are you using: VPS bought online

Describe your issue

After PeerTube installation (successful) I can see the pop-up giving instructions for LDAP parameter. But when I log to PeerTube (with root account), the plugin does not allow any parameters:

plugin auth-ldap
Ce plugin ne dispose pas de paramétrage.

Hence I cannot log using users accounts.

Thanks !

Hi @clacos

How long did you wait after install to check ldap ? Could the problem be a delay in plugin setup ?

Hi, thanks for your reply !

I spent a few minutes digging around but you’re right, I can access to this dialog box now. Maybe a Firefox cache not reloading the page ?

Anyway, I could parameter it as expected, but I’m still facing login issue.

If I try to connect with a regular user connection is refused (invalid login and/or password) and I have the following syslog messages:

The first lines seems to show that the parameters are correct.

The application is granted for “all_users” and “visitors”, but does it means that any user can log with its own account ?

Hello @clacos
Can you share your LDAP Peertube configuration ?

[clacos]

I don’t know how to share it, is there a file I can upload ? Or do you want me to screenshot the page ?

Thanks,

[otm33]

You can copy/paste the keys-values or share a screenshot.

[clacos]

Here it is, thanks !

[otm33]

Est-ce que le problème se pose pour tous tes utilisateurs LDAP ou pour un seul ?

[clacos]

Le soucis c’est que je n’ai qu’un seul utilisateur pour le moment.

[otm33]

C’est bien l’origine du problème, je pense : ton compte root “peertube” et ton unique utilisateur LDAP yunohost ont le même… mail. Donc ça ne passe pas: ton utilisateur YNH est rejeté.

[clacos]

Je vais vérifier ça, merci !

[clacos]

C’était bien ça, merciii !!!

• J’ai créé un nouveau compte et il a pu se connecter
• J’ai modifié l’adresse email de root et j’ai pu me connecter avec mon compte ‘guillaume’.

Parfait tout ça.
