Better error page on LDAP Authentication error
Added by Brandon Bonds over 14 years ago.
Updated almost 3 years ago.
Resolution:
Cant reproduce
Description
Logging in as a non-LDAP user, and testing the LDAP connection, I get Unable to connect (LdapError: no connection to server). But logging in as an LDAP user at the same time results in a 500 error, instead of a "nice" error page.
This is in the server log:
RuntimeError (LdapError: no connection to server):
app/models/auth_source_ldap.rb:61:in `authenticate'
app/models/user.rb:105:in `try_to_login'
app/controllers/account_controller.rb:139:in `password_authentication'
app/controllers/account_controller.rb:35:in `login'
Rendering C:/Program Files/BitNami RubyStack/apps/redmine/public/500.html (500 Internal Server Error)
- Subject changed from LDAP Unavailable/500 Internal Server Error to Better error page on LDAP Authentication error
- Target version set to 1.0.0 (RC)
We should be able to catch errors on authentication and display a more meaningful error page than an http/500. I've set this to 1.0.0 even though we are in feature freeze, might only get fixed in a subsequent minor though.

Can someone verify this bug exists on trunk? I added some tests in r3819 but I can't reproduce it. The LDAP code has recently been refactored so it might have fixed this bug at that time.
I just tested this again on trunk build r3826. The problem still shows up.
The easiest way for me to test was to set up good and working LDAP authentication, and then replace the server with something bogus. That reproduced the situation identically to what I mentioned before, except the log error has changed a bit:
RuntimeError (LdapError: no connection to server):
app/models/auth_source_ldap.rb:43:in `authenticate'
app/models/user.rb:105:in `try_to_login'
app/controllers/account_controller.rb:147:in `password_authentication'
app/controllers/account_controller.rb:142:in `authenticate_user'
app/controllers/account_controller.rb:30:in `login'

Same problem here. We get 500 errors with no details much quickly than the 20s timeout defined. No way to catch it with debug on, either.
- Has duplicate Defect #23120: 'Internal error' when LDAP server name not resolved added
- Status changed from New to Closed
The issue should have already been fixed in r14808 (#21137).
