Cannot install ldap-auth plugin

[cobbjb]

The documentation refers to using phar to unpack files, but the files are already unpacked in the git repository. I have tried using php make.php hydrate anyway, and get the following error on Debian Buster:

root@hostname:/var/www/html/osTicket/include/plugins# php make.php hydrate

@cobbjb

Seems like your issue is Composer 2. Use Composer 1 and retry.

Cheers.

@JediKev Sorry, I'm not familiar with composer. Googled ways to downgrade it, but none of the ways I've read work. I downloaded composer 1.0.22 from HERE, and now php make.php hydrate does something, but I still get an error at the end.

I moved /var/www/html/osTicket/include/plugins/lib/pear-pear.php.net/Net_LDAP2 to /var/www/html/osTicket/include/plugins/lib/pear-pear.php.net/net_ldap2 and the build completed, but I still get a 500 error when trying to configure the plugin.

@cobbjb

You would need to check your error logs for any related errors.

Cheers.

[ntozier]

You might want to consider just downloading the already hydrated plugin from the official download site.
https://osticket.com/download

[cobbjb]

The download link target points to the github plugins project. I'm not familiar with PHP or phar files, but after I ran the hydration, a new "include" directory showed up in auth-ldap with some subfolders and files.

[ntozier]

[cobbjb]

Thanks, that download method did provide the .phar file. I'm up and running with LDAP.

[JediKev]

@cobbjb

My apologies, I would’ve suggested that sooner if I knew you were just trying to install it to use it normally. From the sound of your OP I thought you were trying to use the unpackaged plugin to debug or do custom development.

Cheers.

[cobbjb]

No worries. I think what makes things more confusing is that the plugin selections when going through the download options don't result in a workable environment.
