Authentication DB mode

Post by sum_it_up »

Hi,

When I tried to use phpBB authentication on DB mode, on selecting db (or even apache) from the drop down, the form displays the fields for LDAP. Practically the form should change on select of the the dropdown option.

I don't know how to get this thing done. Is it something worng with my phpBB installation ?

please help me get through. Thanks in advance.

No, it's perfectly normal. I, personally have not used LDAP, but it is the only one that requires those fields to be filled out.

Db is the default, and works perfectly fine without any of those options set. They are just different extra methods of authentication if you want to use them. But, if you are unsure of what they are, I suggest you just use Db (the built-in method).
