LDAP broken after attempting upgrade to 3.5.x

[sna-cmarko]

I had LDAP working in versions 3.4.x, but after trying to upgrade to 3.5.x (I have tried 3.5.1 and 3.5.4) I continue to get:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I'm running Mayan in Docker on Ubuntu 20. I didn't find anything in the release notes that indicated to me it wouldn't work. Nothing has changed on my Ubuntu box since I upgraded to 3.4.17.

Anyone else run into this issue?

I too have this issue and have been trying to set this up from scratch using the docker-compose method. Everything works until I activate my module (it is named myldapfile so it does not have the ldap name conflict. I get the "No module named ldap"

Peering through the logs initially I saw that it could not build python-ldap due to effectively missing gcc. This is on the module install list however. I removed all of the APT installs except gcc", then a missing .h file stopped the build. I trouble shot it all the way down to libldap2-dev, but this too is having an error and presumably stops the rest from installing:

app_1 | The following packages have unmet dependencies:
app_1 | libldap2-dev : Depends: libldap-2.4-2 (= 2.4.47+dfsg-3+deb10u4) but 2.4.56+dfsg-1~bpo10+1 is to be installed
app_1 | W: --force-yes is deprecated, use one of the options starting with --allow instead.
app_1 | E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I am far from a docker guru, so I am a bit stuck.

This is where I have got...any assistance is greatly appreciated.
By first disabling my settings module, then issuing manual commands:
docker-compose -p mayan exec app apt-get update <- I had to do this or the package was not available...
docker-compose -p mayan exec app apt install libldap-2.4-2=2.4.47+dfsg-3+deb10u4 <- force the older package

libldap-2.4-2 is already installed on the image and it seems libre office and some other things depend on it. Downgrading did not seem to cause issue to these packages.

I could then install the rest of the packages and the python modules. Presumably it would then work. My issue however is that I don't know how to tell Mayan to use my LDAP settings (via the settings module).

I am also unable to implement any of the above with my settings file on in the docker-compose as it seems the machine will continually reboot.
I also wonder if just doing a package update may also fix this as it looks like a stale or old packages maybe being used with a newer version of libldap-2.4-2

Using the above method also does not survive a docker reboot - I am still learning this technology.

If I were using the manual install method I think that I could get around this...I may in fact do this, or just find a different path.

I really need to have LDAP or this is just not workable in my environment.

Hi

i am seeing the same exact error. When trying to follow the guide on LDAP integration on this forum, the version 3.5.5 of the Docker image appears not to be able to install and then compile python-ldap due to conflicts in the version of the libldap-2.4-2 library.
Once the requirement to DOWNGRADE the package is added to the list of the installs, the installation proceeds normally.
Once i get LDAP working (i am using Active Directory) i shall post here the solution for that.

However, the original docker image does need fixing i believe. I tried forking the repo and rebuilding it myself but that seems to generate other errors... perhaps i am just not used to that workflow and i am not doing the right things to build it.

Kind regards
