Hi, I’m still working on seafile, I installed version 12 in docker. But I also have an LDAP error. The configuration is the same (I tried changing different values)
You can also try to log in to the Seafile Docker container and use the ldapsearch command to verify if you can connect to LDAP manually. The command is like follows:
#-H LDAP_SERVER_URL#-b LDAP_BASE_DN
#-D LDAP_ADMIN_DN
#'(objectClass=person)' LDAP Filter
#-W After executing this command, enter the password manually.
ldapsearch -x -H ldap://192.168.4.3/ -b 'cn=users,dc=hacn,dc=local' '(objectClass=person)' -D 'administrator@hacn.local' -W -LLL
Hi, I spent a lot of time solving this problem. I tested the script and it works. I compared the entries and saw differences only in the “/” at the end of the line, with the value
Hi，
Thank you for your feedback! After analyzing your logs, we’ve identified two types of errors you’re encountering:
“Resource temporarily unavailable” – this occurs when connecting to the LDAP server.
“Bad search filter” – this is caused by an invalid LDAP filter (LDAP_FILTER).
You suspect the issue might be related to whether the LDAP_SERVER_URL ends with a trailing slash “/”. However, we haven’t been able to reproduce this problem in our internal tests. We recommend testing with the following steps:
First, omit the LDAP_FILTER configuration. This will default to searching all AD users. With LDAP_FILTER unset, test by adding or removing the trailing “/” in the SERVER_URL to see if the LDAP connection works properly.
Seafile’s LDAP user access relies on the python-ldap package. According to the documentation, the LDAP URI does not require a trailing “/” at the end.
On the other hand, you also can test it by a python scripts to see which one will raise an error:

If I disable #LDAP_FILTER = ‘memberOf=CN=Seafile,OU=domail,dc=tsgk,dc=lcl’
it works, but the logs are in seahub.log:
