in reply to Not Authenticating - Catalyst::Authentication::Store::LDAP

The docs say 

        $c->authenticate({
                          id          => $c->req->param("login"), 
                          password    => $c->req->param("password") 
                         });

Re^2: Not Authenticating - Catalyst::Authentication::Store::LDAP
by awohld (Hermit) on Aug 22, 2010 at 02:36 UTC
    I was really hoping that was it, but it's still saying it can't locate the user matching the info provided.

    So seeing that Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::LDAP was superceded by Catalyst::Authentication::Store::LDAP, I take it means that C::A::Store::LDAP does the authentication too.

    But looking at C::A::Store::LDAP it says that it authenticates a user if it finds the user info in the LDAP store. So it's really not even looking a the passwords. So this looks like it's not really an Authentication module. But why would an Authenticaiton module be superceeded by a Store module?

    UPDATE:
    As an update I see that the first step is that C::A::Store::LDAP binds with the pre-set user and password, then it reconnects with the user and password sent in second time. Here's a copy of my config in memory if that helps: 
    do {
