I'm having an issue with our OU's and how devices are assigned to users in Observium.
To keep the explanation simple our users OU structure basically looks like this: arbor.net ---All Users ------Ann Arbor ------City 2 ------City 3
I have the base set to the top "all users": $config['auth_ldap_prefix'] = "CN="; $config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",OU=All Users,DC=arbor,DC=net";
The issue is that the ldap module won't look down into the sub OU's to find the users, so any device associations fail.
If I create a test user in the "All Users" OU directly it works properly.
Is there any way to make this work properly? I have users logging in in various sub OU's so I can't just point it at one of the city OU's directly.
Thanks!

I've also tried enabling referrals and it didn't help. This is what I see at the end of the login page if I use /debug/
LDAP[Filter][(CN=Ryan\2c Spencer,OU=Ann Arbor)][OU=All Users,DC=arbor,DC=net] LDAP[UserID][User not found through filter]
That is my correct CN. But the next line shows that it isn't grabbing a UserID for me:
SELECT * FROM `entity_permissions` WHERE `user_id` = '-1'

I modified html/includes/authenticaion/ldap.inc.php
~ Line 260 I changed the user LDAP search filter to the following: $filter = "(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName=" . $username . "))";
This will only work properly with AD (given the sAMAccountName property) but it correctly looks up the users.
This is what I get out of the login debug page now for my user:
LDAP[Filter][(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName=sryan))][OU=All Users,DC=arbor,DC=net] LDAP[UserID][Converted objectSid S-1-5-21-1708537768-682003330-1417001333-18980 to user ID 18980]
I'm not sure if you need to add a flag in the config for which item to search for in the filter, but that filter should work fine for any AD installation.
