Thank you Matthew. We have a database backup from the 24th that we could 
restore, although I don’t think it’s a database issue. Otherwise we can install 
again and do a restore but rather not have to do that with some of our 
customizations.


1.       There haven’t been any raccode changes

2.       Yes LDAP is authenticating

3.       No recent GPOs or patches preformed (was working on a Friday and 
stopped working on a Monday)

4.       LDAP
$LDAP_options = array
(
                'server' => 'ldaps://sldap.wit.edu:636',
                'domain' => 'wit.edu',
                'search_attr' => 'sAMAccountName',
                'search_dn' => 'dc=wit,dc=private',
// The following credentials will be used when searching for the user's DN:
                'search_bind_rdn' => 'CN=LDAP-RACKTABLES,OU=WIT System 
Accounts,DC=wit,DC=private',
                'search_bind_password' => '*************',
                'displayname_attrs' => 'givenName sn',
                'options' => array (LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION => 3, 
LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS => 0),
                'use_tls' => 0,         // 0 == don't attempt, 1 == attempt, 2 
== require
);

5.       For the error message it keeps trying eventually it gives the HTML 
banner that we have in the secret.php file.

1. Anyone make raccode changes?

2. Have you used something like softerra's ldap browser and validate the user 
binding for racktables is authenticating?

3. any group policy changes or patches auto installed on DCs?

4.  Can you provide the ldap section, minus password, from your racktables 
config?

5. What is the error message in the Browser?

Today our LDAP authentication stopped working on our racktables 0.20.5 install. 
As far as we can tell no changes were made to our racktables 
installation/config files or our active directory environment. Out local admin 
account is still working. Any suggestions of what could have caused this? We 
did a quick look through the apache logs and didn’t see anything in there that 
was helpful.
