I am trying to get LDAP authentication going on my drupal site. However, when I go to the page to configure it and test, I get the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function ldap_connect() in /etc/drupal/6/sites/all/modules/ldap_integration/includes/LDAPInterface.inc on line 132

One person said they resolved the issue when they found out they didn't have the PHP Library installed. I am not sure what this means though. Would appreciate any help, thanks.

Can anyone offer any assistance with this?

You need to have PHP compiled with LDAP support. See http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.ldap.php. There are basic installation instructions. If you are compiling PHP yourself, this means using the --with-ldap argument to the configure script. If you are using a precompiled PHP binary, you may have to install a separate package to get LDAP support. Installing this package really depends on your platform.

You can try the following on Debian, probably also on Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install php5-ldap
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart # and not reload

I had this problem and I'm not dumb enough to forget to install PHP. Dah.

I was only able to make it work and make thie message disapear prefixing "ldap://" to the LDAP hostname on the LDAP Server field.

My server name is bluepages.ibm.com so I had to write "ldap://bluepages.ibm.com" on the server settings form.

Let me know if it worked for you.

I am getting this error, but only when I try to log in using a non-existent account. And it happens whether or not I precede the server name with "ldap://".

Update - well, that was silly. It was only working with existing accounts because it wasn't checking against LDAP. When I tried logging in with a non-existent account, that's when it would check against LDAP. Bottom line - I didn't have PHP compiled with LDAP.
