Rails
1

i have created a web app with rails4 and authentication system is
developed
with devise_ldap_authenticable gem. where i am using username for login
not
email. but i want to store email in my users table. My user model is

class User < ActiveRecord::Base

Include default devise modules. Others available are:

:confirmable, :lockable, :timeoutable and :omniauthable

#@attr_accessible :email, :password, :password_confirmation

not required for LDAP :recoverable, :registerable, :validatable

devise :ldap_authenticatable, :rememberable, :trackable

validates_uniqueness_of :email, :allow_blank => true

before_save :get_ldap_email

def get_ldap_email
self.email = Devise::LDAP::Adapter.get_ldap_param(self.username,
“mail”)
end
end

But in users table of email field its storing data like

email = ‘— !ruby/array:Net::BER::BerIdentifiedArray\ninternal:\n-
!ruby/string:Net::BER::BerIdentifiedString\n str: !binary |-\n
cy5naG9zaEBzYW1zdW5nLmNvbQ==\n ber_identifier: 4\nivars:\n
:@ber_identifier: 49\n’

log says, LDAP: Requested param mail has value [“[email protected]”]

How i will store this value to my users table. where im doing wrong?
please help me out.

I have not used that, but I suspect that get_ldap_param is not
returning what you expect. I suggest that you insert before the
self.email=… line something like
puts inspect Devise::LDAP::Adapter.get_ldap_param(self.username, “mail”)
which will show exactly what it returns, in the server window.
