**Steps to set up LDAP with your Koha instance**
 
1 In Linux terminal navigate to the directory containing the koha-conf.xml file which will either be in: * /etc/koha/sites/<instance-name>/ OR * /etc/koha/
 
2 Open the koha-conf.xml file with root permissions: sudo vi koha-conf.xml
 
3 Scroll down to the line containing ‘<useldapserver>0</useldapserver>’ and change it to: <useldapserver>1</useldapserver>
 
4 Then in the next line below write in the LDAP configurations below:
 
5 Save and exit the koha-conf.xml file
ENV and koha-conf.xml
6 Check the LDAP connection works by writing in:
 
ldapsearch -H ldaps://host.name -s base -x -w "" -d 1
 
Note about hostname Hostname can either be a alphanumerical name or it can be the LDAP server IP address (its optional to write port number). By default the ldaps default port number is 636, whilst ldap default port number is 389
 
Note about the replicate and update fields The replicate LDAP config field for LDAP in the koha-conf.xml file allow the Koha database to be added to with a new borrower account whenever a user logs into Koha (either the staff client or OPAC) with their LDAP username and password (assuming the same username and password does not already exist in the Koha database).
 
Whereas the update LDAP config field (in the same file allows) allows for user information in the LDAP database to be synced down to the Koha database. e.g. if someone gets married and their surname changes then the new surname only needs to be updated in the existing LDAP database and that will be synced down to the Koha database automatically if the update configuration is set to 1.
 
About the mapping fields (the fields highlighted green) <city is="l">Athens, OH</city>
 
The left hand column name (highlighted yellow) is the name of the column in the LDAP database.
 
The column name inside quote marks (highlighted pink) is the name of the column in the Koha database. NOTE: This can be filled with any value if there is no equivalent column name in the Koha database as exists in the LDAP database.
 
The value highlighted cyan is the default value for the specified Koha and LDAP columns. So in the above example all user records in the Koha and LDAP databases will by default have the city value of ‘Athens, OH’.

The values in the mapping area are not always the same, and it depends on what is in your organisations LDAP database. For example some organisations do not use <userid> instead each user is only identified by the <email> field and so no <userid> is written.
 
**Troubleshooting LDAP**
**اسكتشاف الأخطاء وإصلاحها SIP2**
The log that LDAP errors are printed to depends on several factors:
 
If plack is not disabled then LDAP errors are displayed in the plack-error.log file If plack is disabled then the location that LDAP errors are printed to is either the opac-error.log file (if the user is logging into the OPAC) or the intranet-error.log file (if the user is logging into the staff client) All of these three log files are accessible in the following directory:
إذا لم يكن plack معطلاً، فسيتم عرض أخطاء LDAP في ملف plack-error.log إذا كان plack معطلاً فسيكون الموقع الذي يتم طباعة أخطاء LDAP إليه هو إما ملف opac-error.log (إذا كان المستخدم مسجل الدخول إلى الأوباك) أو ملف intranet-error.log (إذا كان المستخدم مسجل الدخول إلى برنامج العميل) جميع هذه الملفات الثلاثة قابلة للوصول في الدليل التالي:
/var/log/koha/<instance>/
