Mealie with LDAP (using lldap) not adding user...

[Entheologian]

Hi,

I am using Mealie in Docker and I tried using the config mentioned here, without any success yet:
lldap/lldap#291 (reply in thread)

When I try to login it says "Invalid Credentials" and the mealie logs show this:

mealie-api | 192.168.112.3:57872 - "POST /api/auth/token HTTP/1.1" 401

The comment linked above mentioned this mealie issue, which I don't know if it's related or not:
#1775

In my case, I am trying to use ldaps but I have tried without the SSL (and using non-ssl port of course) and it doesn't seem to be hitting the ldap server, according to what I see in it's logs.

Has anyone been able go get mealie authenticating to LDAP, specifically with lldap?

I have these LDAP options set in my docker-compose.yml file:

• LDAP_AUTH_ENABLED=true
• LDAP_SERVER_URL="ldaps://192.168.0.210:636/"
• LDAP_BIND_TEMPLATE="uid={},ou=people,dc=domain,dc=net"
• LDAP_TLS_INSECURE=true #tried both true/false
• LDAP_ENABLE_STARTTLS=true #tried both true/false
• LDAP_BASE_DN="dc=domain,dc=net"
• LDAP_QUERY_PASSWORD=mypassword

What version are you running? LDAP is fixed in the latest nightly version and it comes with some new environment variables

[cmintey]

Yeah it should be there if you're logged in as an admin. Do you have a local admin account to log in with?

[Entheologian]

Ahh, an admin account would explain this issue... I don't have one and didn't even know it had that option. I didn't see it in the documentation, unless I missed it?

Can you please point me to where/how I can read how to setup the admin account?

[cmintey]

The default user is an admin.

Username: changeme@email.com
Password: MyPassword

If you've deleted this user, then one way you can add yourself as admin (since you're using LDAP), is to add in an LDAP_ADMIN_FILTER as shown in the documentation. You can create a mealie admin group (or use whatever existing group) in lldap and assign yourself.

Ahhh, I will do it that way. Thanks for your time!

No problem, glad to help
