RE: Configuring UNIX clients to retrieve user info from LDAP



Thanks for the reply. Here are the messing details.

>What OS / Distro ?

I am using CentOS 5.1. The nsswitch.conf is properly configured. If change the uri or host in /etc/ldap.conf to a standard ldap, it works fine. Only if I refer to an ldap server which is proxy to AD server it fails.


>Add:
>debug 1

I did this and here is a sample output.  It's connecting to the server (hera2), but not getting any information. Strange!
