Item5214: Can't get groups out of ldap

http://www.twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins/LdapContribDev

There is a strang eproblem with getting the groups out of ldap I think the problems lies here in the code:

my $result = $this->refreshUsersCache(\%tempData);

if (defined($result) && $this->{mapGroups}) {

$result ||= $this->refreshGroupsCache(\%tempData);

}

after some small debugging efforts I figured out that:

the if branch is excuted, but refreshGroupsCache() doesn't get called

The function refreshUserCache() will return undef if there was an LDAP error. In that case defined($result) is false and the groups are not refreshed. Please enable debugging and try once again.

Argh ...

I enabled debugging and I have the same behavior as RaphaelWeis on hi 04 Jan 2008 Post.

I tried to change this line: $result ||= $this->refreshGroupsCache(\%tempData);

with: $result = $this->refreshGroupsCache(\%tempData);

and the nthe refreshGroupsCache gets correctly executed and from debug info I can see my groups being downloaded from ldap. What's wrong here?

To answer your first question: there is no ldap error, I can verify from the debugging infos that refreshUserCache() gets properly called and found many entries (my users).

Thanks you for you patience.

Found the error. Releasing the fix in v2.1.1

Sorry, same problem, here's the debug output:
