Hello, I have some trouble installing modules for my gnuhealth installation. Specifically, I want to install the `trytond-ldap-authentication` module for my gnuhealth 3.8 server. Unfortunately I can not find any hints if this requires a specific procedure. What I did was: ``` pip3 install trytond-ldap-authentication ``` Afterwords I took a look into the gui client and tried to activate the ldap module, but it was not listed there. Afterwards I tried using the `trytond-admin` cli, but all commands fail with the following error: ```auto gnuhealth@linux:~/gnuhealth/tryton/server/trytond-5.0.34/bin $ ./trytond-admin -m -d=health --config /home/gnuhealth/gnuhealth/tryton/server/config/trytond.conf Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/gnuhealth/gnuhealth/tryton/server/trytond-5.0.34/trytond/modules/ __init__.py", line 53, in import_module module = importlib.import_module(fullname) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/importlib/ __init__.py", line 126, in import_module return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level) File "", line 994, in _gcd_import File "", line 971, in _find_and_load File "", line 953, in _find_and_load_unlocked ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'trytond.modules.ldap_authentication' During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "./trytond-admin", line 21, in admin.run(options) File "/home/gnuhealth/gnuhealth/tryton/server/trytond-5.0.34/trytond/admin.py", line 54, in run activatedeps=options.activatedeps) File "/home/gnuhealth/gnuhealth/tryton/server/trytond-5.0.34/trytond/pool.py", line 149, in init self.start() File "/home/gnuhealth/gnuhealth/tryton/server/trytond-5.0.34/trytond/pool.py", line 102, in start register_classes() File "/home/gnuhealth/gnuhealth/tryton/server/trytond-5.0.34/trytond/modules/ __init__.py", line 331, in register_classes the_module = import_module(module) File "/home/gnuhealth/gnuhealth/tryton/server/trytond-5.0.34/trytond/modules/ __init__.py", line 77, in import_module module = spec.loader.load_module() File "", line 399, in _check_name_wrapper File "", line 823, in load_module File "", line 682, in load_module File "", line 265, in _load_module_shim File "", line 684, in _load File "", line 665, in _load_unlocked File "", line 678, in exec_module File "", line 219, in _call_with_frames_removed File "/home/gnuhealth/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/trytond/modules/ldap_authentication/ __init__.py", line 5, in from . import res File "/home/gnuhealth/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/trytond/modules/ldap_authentication/res.py", line 9, in from trytond.i18n import gettext ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'trytond.i18n' ``` I can not figure out why this fails, so if somone has an idea I’d be very happy for any hints. Kind regards Andreas ---

You must install modules from the same series (two first release number) as trytond package installed. ---

In order to complement the answer: pip3 install trytond-ldap-authentication==5.0.3 should do the trick. ---

Okay, I managed to install the ldap module. It seems like a restart of the server was needed. Unfortunately I still can not see an ldap entry in the sidebar menu, altough the module appears as “activated”. Any ideas why this is not showing up? ---

There is no menu entry for ldap module. Everything must be configured in the trytond configuration. See [https://docs.tryton.org/projects/modules-ldap-authentication/](https://docs.tryton.org/projects/modules-ldap-authentication/). ---

Oh I see. I was following this guide [GNU Health/Central Authentication - Wikibooks, open books for an open world](https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/GNU_Health/Central_Authentication) which says otherwise. Thanks for the hint, I will see if I can get it to work. ---

Okay, I think I managed to add the ldap configuration to my config like this: ```auto [session] authentications = password,ldap [ldap_authentication] uri = ldap://ldap2.xy.z.de:389/ou=users,dc=xyz,dc=de ``` In which way to I need to add users for using the ldap authentication? I tried adding the ldap username as the “Login” parameter when I create a user. But the password field gets automatically filled when I save. I can then not login supplying the login name and the ldap password. Is there a way to check wether tryton actually tries to use ldap? ---

I guess the ldap module is not correctly configured. ---

I added `?objectClass?onelevel` at the end of my uri and gnuhealth/tryton now successfully logs me in.
