Following the post from Digital Ocean to get started, under a Ubuntu 14.04LTS installation with latest updates and patches through apt-get update/upgrade https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-a-basic-ldap-server-on-an-ubuntu-12-04-vps But during the creation of "Generic: User Account", the password field has shown an error. Error appears in phpldapadmin: "Error trying to get a non-existant value (appearance,password_hash)" Stackoverflow has a solution: All you need to do is change password_hash /usr/share/phpldapadmin/lib/TemplateRender.php on line 2469 to password_hash_custom http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20673186/getting-error-for-setting-password-feild-when-creating-generic-user-account-php This was due to incompatibility between phpldapadmin 1.2.2 and php 5.5.
