Hello everyone ,
We are actually using chamilo at the Region Poitou-Charentes (French Administration). This tool is very nice and I am sure we only discovered 10% of its possibilities.
However we encountred some troubles with the LDAP authentification module. Auhtentification for our LDAP (more precisely Active directory) users did not work at all. After some investigation we found that the problem came from the field witch was used to check the login name ('username' if I remmember well for chamilo side). This problème is due to our central active directory which contain a unstandard schema where the login name is stored in the SmaAccountName filed.
So we made some developpement to remove the harcoding of this query filed in the ldap module to allow the admin to have the possibility to select the query filed login inside the LDAP management console.
Actually we have a svn patch wich can be applied to the 1.8.8.4 version of chamilo.
If your are interrested we can share it with you.
This my first post on this forum so I appologize if I don't respect de procedure.

Hi,
First of all welcome here...
A quick presentation (in ad'hoc section) would be just Great

However, I think the file can be interrested for a number of people, as MS AD is qiute used in companies.

Thank you in advance.
