openldap and communicator roaming access
I have followed the instructions (with a few modifications) in the
following url's closely:
http://www.linuxworld.com/linuxworld/lw-1999-07/lw-07-ldap_tutorial.html
http://linuxworld.com/linuxworld/lw-1999-09/lw-09-ldap-netscape.html
I have installed the latest BerkeleyDB and OpenLDAP release on a
RH6.0 box with Albert-FitzPatrick's patch.
After configuring Netscape Communicator for roaming access
and exiting the program, I restarted and chose the User Profile. It
asked for the password. So far so good. I enter the password, but
it said "An authorization error occured, please try retyping your
password."
Yesterday, I edited the contents of the ldif file from
"userpassword= secret" to "userpassword=secret", and added the
user on the ldap server. Now, on Netscape Communicator, after
choosing the Profile Name and entering the Password, I am able to
access the ldap server and upload the user profiles. The catch is I
am able to access the ldap server with no password entered or the
correct password entered. What do I do to correct this?
Another problem is that ideally, when I choose Guest (for Profile
Name) on the Communicator Profile Manager, enter the User Name
and Password, I should be able to download the user profile --
bookmarks, browser configuration, etc... but the browser is left
unconfigured, which means that the profile was not downloaded.
How do I resolve this?
Thanks for your assistance.
