SecondaryPasswordManager not working

Hi,

i have again a question. Because i am running foswiki in an productive environment, this question is very important to me. I am using ldap-contrib for users to authenticate.

Besides two issues (although i set $Foswiki::cfg{Ldap}{Debug} = 1; no debugfile is created or written two, and i did not manage to get a group filter set). main main usse is, that the SecondaryPAsswordManager seems not to work. I have set it to $Foswiki::cfg{Ldap}{SecondaryPasswordManager} = 'Foswiki::Users::HtPasswdUser';

and $Foswiki::cfg{Htpasswd}{FileName} = '/srv/www/foswiki/data/.htpasswd';

I created an entry with the htpasswd tool in that location for a user, but login does not work.

So, is there a way to track down, what the reason behind this may be? All files are readable by the webserver-user.

Can it be, that foswiki requieres modules, that are not mentioned in the installation guide? I think it is strange, that i am facing that much errors

Any hints are welcome... Thank you.

Hi Peter - this may come too late for you, but here are answers anyway:

1) Enabling debug only gets you some debug statements. There are a bunch of commented out LDAP debug statements in /var/www/html/foswiki/lib/Foswiki/Contrib/LdapContrib.pm as well, that you could uncomment for more debug logging (I guess they're commented out for performance considerations). Look for lines like:

#writeDebug("got $nrRecords keys in cache");

And take out the # to enable the debug next time through.

2) The secondary password manager not working is a known issue waiting for a fix - there is a bunch of info and a small patch available at Tasks.Item8192. I've got locally registered users in my wiki that I can log into bypassing LDAP with that patch applied.
