Login with local password when ldap is broken?

[bdleedy]

Let's say, hypothetically of course, the ldap connection is broken and I don't have the root password to the OS.

So now that ldap is broken, when I browse to the site, I can't even login with the local application admin password?? Is there some alternate page maybe?

Test it out, thgink you can stil logon with the local admin password

Isn't it obvious that I can't?

I get a page that tells me that ldap is broken and actually tells me to go somewhere else via the menu I can't see...

Please use the "Back" button in your web browser to return to the previous page. There you can correct whatever problems were identified in this error or select another action. You can also click an option from the menu bar to go directly to a new section.

In case the admin account is ladap bound, i would have expected that to happen. If you logon with a (only0 local account that should not happen. So you probably get the message before you reach thye logon screen, right?
Can you share a printscreen of the page you get ( and some info with respect to Mantis versions, OS, PHP and MySql)?

Yeah, I'm just trying to login (hopefully with a local account) and get pushed right to this page. I'm unsure of any versioning.

Well there can be issues based upon mantisbt version and PHP versions. So versions are quite important.
You can also enable logging, perhaps that gives a clue.
Logging can be set in core/config_inc.php using statement:
$g_log_level = LOG_LDAP;

....and I don't have the root password to the OS.

Wish I could. If I could do that, I'd just go in and fix LDAP. Sounds like it's hosed.

contact the one who does have access.........

Thanks.
I'm a system engineer who has inherited this mess of a poorly documented setup. So, I'm the one who SHOULD have it but I don't. Just looking for a way in, but I don't expect that there is one. Thanks for the help.
