How to enable or install ldap authentication module in php php.ini

Hi All,
I tried to set up a testlink 1.9.19 (Metonic cycle) application for domain authorization (bitnami OVF stack on vmware).
I've created proper configuration in custom_config.inc.php file.
When I tried to login AD user i found erros in /userlog0.log file:
ldap_bind(): Unable to bind to server: Can't contact LDAP server - in /opt/bitnami/apps/testlink/htdocs/lib/functions/ldap_api.php

I've found that ldap php module should be installed and enabled in php.ini file.
I've tried to enable module but there is no file ldap.so in /home/bitnami/stack/php/lib/php/extensions
but thereis error message
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'ldap.so' (tried: /opt/bitnami/php/lib/php/extensions/ldap.so (/opt/bitnami/php/lib/php/extensions/ldap.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

How to install and use ldap.so module in bitnami virtual machine ?

Hi @kristof,

We have this guide in our documentation that explains how to enable the module in PHP, did you check it?

https://docs.bitnami.com/aws/apps/wordpress/configuration/enable-modules/#ldap

If you continue running into problems, we can review your configuration with the information that our Support tool gets. Could you please download and execute it on the machine where the stack is running by following the steps described in the guide below?

How to Run the Bitnami Support Tool

Please note that you need to paste the code outputted by the tool in your reply.

Hi Jota,
I've enabled ldap module in Apache configuration but problem still persist when I change user authentication method in Testlink to LDAP .
I've run support tool and support file bundle was uploaded to your server , code: c63a6b9a-35e4-fb33-1038-47a076494253

Regards Kristof

Hi @kristof,

The LDAP php module is enabled by default in PHP. You can obtain this information when using the php -m command. You will be able to find the ldap extension there.

If the application is trying to find the extension in a different way, I suggest you contact the developers of the application to get more information about that

http://forum.testlink.org/

Do not hesitate to write us back if you have any other questions about the Bitnami solutions.

Thanks

HI jota,
I have one additional question, did the support package that I sent contained the custom_config.inc.php file?

regards
Kristof

Hi @kristof,

No, the Bitnami support tool didn't get the information of that file. For TestLink, it only gets the logs from the logs folder.
