Re: Using OpenLDAP 2.0.7 for authentication
let me know if you get your question answered. i'm at the point that i have
openldap 2.0.7 on rh 7 installed and i've got users added. but i want to
implement a user database / address book. and someday i'd like it to
authenticate against kerberos.. and eventually to integrate ldap with samba
so nt users can be authenticated against ldap...
but anyways right now i just want the addressbook to work in outlook express
but i'm not quite sure what fields i need...
when i search in outlook express it cannot find any users but they are
there...
oh how would i create a subtree from my dc=dino,dc=com ??? where i could add
users?
also what indexes are you using? how do you have your structure setup? i.e.
attributes that are used for each user...
???
could you send me a copy of your ldap.conf file i'd like to look at your
database entry...
if you could answer some of these questions would be helpful.
