LDAP and Elgg 1.6. Help!!

Hi to all,

I'm new to Elgg (1.6) and my boss asked me to make it authenticate with the LDAP server. I looked for help on the web but have found ony unclear matierial.

I have installed the auth_ldap plugin and enabled it. Then I wrote the data on the "settings"" of the plugin but I have absolutely no idea of where to look to check if the authentication works or not. Is there a log somewhere? A debugging tool? Furthermore I don't know how set Elgg so that it uses LDAP authentication instead of its own one.

Is there anybody that can turn me in the right direction?

 

Thank you!
