Check content

Verify that the LDAP authentication server is configured correctly. Navigate to Settings >> Initial Configuration >> Authentication. Verify that the LDAP server entry is correct and that the button for "LDAP Based Authentication" is enabled. Verify that the "Native takes precedence" button is set to "Disabled". If the LDAP server entry is not present and enabled, and the "Native takes precedence" button is not set to "Disabled", this is a finding.

Fix text

Navigate to Settings >> Initial Configuration >> Authentication. Enter the correct LDAP server entry. Press the button for "LDAP Based Authentication" so that it is enabled. If necessary, press the "Disabled" button for "Native takes precedence". Press the "Commit" button.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
