While trying to debug my problems with
authentication I discovered the problem was with searching the LDAP entries. If I search my database by the CN field I
get this output: ldapsearch -D
"cn=manager,dc=example,dc=com" -x -W "cn=myuser" # myuser, Users,
example.com dn:
uid=myuser,o=Users,dc=example,dc=com uid: myuser cn: myUser objectClass:
account objectClass:
posixAccount objectClass: top objectClass:
shadowAccount shadowLastChange:
13789 shadowMax: 99999 shadowWarning: 7 loginShell:
/bin/bash uidNumber: 10002 gidNumber: 10001 homeDirectory:
/home/ldap/john gecos: myUser
(LDAP) userPassword:: <stuff> It
seems pretty normal to me and working. However, if I try to search with “uid=myuser”
nothing is returned. What
is more, if I instead search with “uid=myuser*” the entry is
returned successfully, which tells me that somewhere on the LDAP structure I
probably have a problem with strange characters. Is there a way to efficiently
correct this or do I have to import everything again? Of
course, I could be wrong in my assumption… anything else that could be
causing this behaviour besides strange “invisible” characters on
UID field? Thank
