Re: OpenLDAP client configuration with CentOS 5.3



Thanks for suggestion. However still no luck.
Yes _e3user was password. I tried -W and -w too.
BTW, let me again repeat the steps done for configuration

- Install openldap
- Change /etc/openldap/ldap.conf property file
- Tried to login to linux box using LDAP credential -> it did not work
- Tried running authconfig with enableldap, enableldapauth etc... with -update all filter
- Tried to login to linux box using LDAP credential -> Linux box unexpectedly closed the connection and putty window closed
- Tried to run ldapsearch.....here I am now

Do you think, there are some steps or configurations I am missing.
I am basically not looking for ldapsearch command to run rather I just wanted peoples having ldap credential easily login to the linux box.

regards,
Rb

Watch the space:

ldapsearch -x -H ldap://xxx.yyy.com -D "cn=Directory Manager" "(objectclass=*)" -W _e3user

(assuming _e3user is your password. maybe you should try with -w also)

Try:

ldapsearch -x -H ldap://xxx.yyy.com-D "cn=Directory Manager" "(objectclass=*)" -W _e3user

I tried as per suggestions using man page. But still getting the error

ldapsearch -H ldap://xxx.yyy.com-D "cn=Directory Manager" "(objectclass=*)" -W -X _e3user
Enter LDAP Password:
SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started
ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Unknown authentication method (-6)
       additional info: SASL(-4): no mechanism available:


It now generates a new error. I tried using authconfig with --enableldap,  --enablewinbind  and  --disableldaptls.
Still users are not able to login to linux box using LDAP credentials.

As it says in this error message: "a successful bind must be completed on the connection". This means you must authenticate to the LDAP server in order to search in it.

Check the -D and -w/-W options in the ldapsearch(1) man page. You'll need a valid account in your LDAP server and it's password.
