TypeError after bad LDAP config

[rmdegennaro]

I wasn't paying attention and not even sure what I entered, but I was entering in the webui information for LDAP/SSO.

I get the following when going to the SchoolTool page:

Server Error

An internal server error has occurred. This most likely means that you have found a bug in SchoolTool. Please report it on the issue tracker.

Exception

TypeError: must be string or read-only buffer, not None

Your School - server running SchoolTool 2.1

I tried adding this to schooltool.conf & doing a restart:

<ldap_authentication>

  allow_web_config no

</ldap_authentication>

I was hoping to turn off LDAP entirely. But same info on the main page.

You should be remove the ldap packege such as:
sudo apt-get remove python-schooltool.ldap
then,if you want to use it,you could install it again.
