I can view the directory in Workgroup Manager on Mac OS X Server but I also dont know how to set the admin username or password.

Just installed openldap server on a VM CentOS called 'ldapsrv', it works fine, ldapsearch returns all ldap information.
Installed openldap client on another VM CentOS called 'ldapclient1', configured it with most basic configuration, no ssl/tls etc. but ldapsearch returns error:
I'm new to LDAP. I've installed LDAP Server and I stated:
Code: Select allaccess to * by * write
I can login with admin and anonymous, but when I try non-admin user ldap respond:
Code: Select all conn=1137 op=2 RESULT tag=97 err=49 text=
Is there any requirements for creating a non-admin login user, because the "user", that I've created is not ObjectClass: Posix-Account, but ObjectClass: person, organizationalPerson?
Also I've tried to add ObjectClass shadowAccount and SimpleSecurityObject, but without any success...
I am looking for ideas for getting windows users into an ldap server. I am currently running a Linux server for my department and need to create an LDAP server which mirrors the username/password information for all of us as they are stored in the windows server here. I have the openldap server up and running on Ubuntu 8.04 and it works great; I now need to find some way to import user info into this from windows. I've seen discussions of using ldifde.exe to export the AD users into an ldif file. Is this the simplest way to go about it?
Our Linux server is currently providing us with much needed services using apache, and apache is authenticating using LDAP to our windows server (Using our windows username / password is required functionality). This windows server has some problem which causes it to delay for inordinate amounts of time between authentication requests and responses. The situation is such that this problem will not be addressed by IT staff. However, I have control over the Linux server so I am looking to just mirror the windows server on an LDAP server of my own. I could get away with updating the passwords in the Linux server.
I have set it up, but I'm not sure whether the admin username and password are set correctly. How do I confirm? Also, if someone has any links explaining the format of an LDIF file.
I have Fedora Directory Server with SSL running on my Linux Machine. I can see th output:
Code...
This shows that 636 port is open.But When I am attempting to this Linux Server from one of Windows Desktop it says "LDAP is Down". I selected LDAPv3 and LDAPv3, hostname and SSL/TLS tried fetching base DN but it dint work.
I am running an openldap server on fedora core 10 and now running into a need of get all users data from Active Directory. Actually I have a php based application which will be using that data from OpenLDAP and it will need to be updated on weekly bases. how can I do it and any script.
I am facing login issues when i try to login as admin using phpldapadmin into ldap server. Installed phpldapadmin for administering ldap server from the repository:
1)[url]
2)yum install phpldapadmin
Able to see the default phpldapadmin login page.
ldapadmin throws the error as "Bad username/password.Please try again"
But when i login as anonymous i am able to login but the web page asks whether to create the root domain?
whether anything needs to be done for making it login as admin.
I have this group "cn=admins,ou=groups,dc=home,dc=com" And I've configured slapd in the new way so I'm not using slapd.conf (I think). First I thought about just modifying the files at /etc/ldap/cn=config/....... but that didn't work. How do I make that group into an admin-group with all the rights ?
There are several parts of problems in my question.
1. Install openLDAP and authenticate clients
2. Simple way to authenticate Ubuntu clients (just like Windows simple domain model, but Linux)
Part 1 What I have done: I have been working on openLDAP for the past 4 weeks. There is a lot of information on LDAP and I have read a lot of it There are several guides out there for openLDAP installation on Ubuntu, and I have tried many of them, and reinstalled the server between tests.
[Code]...
Part 2 Simple way to authenticate Ubuntu clients (just like Windows simple domain model, but Linux)
I have tried to find something similar to Windows client login, but haven't found anything that works. I just need to be pointed to somewhere to read about the authentication model in Linux. I can work out my from there. It must be something very simple I am missing, because when I read som echapters in The Ubunutu Bible, I can't find anything on it.
I'm using openldap(slapd) to store user account..But how can i ensure that each UserID can be only login on one machine at any one time? I'm using ubuntu for both client and server..
I'm trying to set up an OpenLDAP server on a clean install of 10.04 server (AMD64). Following the server guide [URL] I get down to the "Setting up ACL" step: $ ldapsearch -xLLL -b cn=config -D cn=admin,cn=config -W oldDatabase=hdb oldAccess This command fails with "ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)"
When I replace the dn with what it seems like it should be: $ ldapsearch -xLLL -b cn=config -D cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com -W oldDatabase=hdb oldAccess I get "No such object (32)" I have a feeling this is because 10.04 no longer asks you for the admin username and password during the initial debconf (nor does dpkg-reconfigure).
I can continue through the guide using this form of the commands (which were used earlier in the Guide): $ sudo ldapsearch -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -b cn=config olcDatabase=hdb olcAccess But I'm a little concerned that I'm not able to properly use the admin user to make LDAP changes to the configuration. It also seems like the Server Guide ought to use the 'sudo ... -Y EXTERNAL' form of the commands throughout if cn=admin,cn=config isn't going to work.
I have slapd-server running but it seems to refuse connections in a very odd way. Wireshark shows that everytime JavaEE-client tries to connect, only 2 packages are sent. As I understand, in tcp/ip protocol, the first is just "hello, who's there". The last is just a message consisting of ACK and RST. I think RST means "we're done". At this point I don't think any credentials are checked so I don't know what could be wrong
When it asks me to "Enter LDAP Password:" and nothing I have tried works. I thought it might have been "olcRootPW: secret" set in the backend file in the step before, but that isn't working.
I recently followed a tutorial on how to get OpenLDAP running with Samba on Lucid. It worked pretty well.Here's my very frustrating problem with it. For the first 5 - 10 minutes after rebooting, password handling (possibly PAM?) is hosed, including for users in LDAP authenticating via Samba.In fact, I think the only reason I can SSH into the machine during that window is because I happen to have certificate authentication enabled and my client uses that.When I try to do a sudo command after logging in, though, and have to enter the password, it hangs. I've searched logs and haven't come up with much.I *think* it's related to this bug, but I'm not sure.And here's what's killing me ... it's not easy for me to figure out how to ensure that slapd starts before smbd and rsyslog (I read somewhere else that it needs to start before that for some reason) b/c most of the jobs are upstart jobs, but slapd is not.By default it runs at S19 in rc2.d, and I've tried manually lowering that as far as S05 or S07, but I'm still having trouble.
I work for a college with many departments. I'd like to just deploy one LDAP/krb5 server (plus slave replicas) to authenticate all users in all departmentsIs it possible to do this?The proposed DNs for the departments matches what is done for NIS now.If anyone has any pointers or URLs that describe how to properly do this.
Small office... 20-30 computers all windows based. xp/vista/windows 7. 3 Servers running ubuntu 10.04... 1 domain controller, and two file servers with samba. We want to be able to login once in the morning, and then not have to worry about users/passwords at all throughout the day. So I was thinking that I could setup a PDC and then make the two filservers both BDC's and use ldap to authenticate everything. Would this even work out? and is there a better way to do it?
I am planning to deploy an OpenLDAP server in my LAN for basic authentication, but I have no idea how to do it. I would like to know how to configure an OpenLDAP Server, and I would also like to know about knowledge resources, if any.
After installing F11, I installed OpenLdap with the command "yum -y install openldap*" And added the password obtained through the command "slappasswd -s password -h {MD5}" into /etc/openldap/slapd.conf. Also, I specified the domain information within the file on "suffix" and "rootdn". I also modified the domain name in both /etc/openldap/ldap.conf and /etc/ldap.conf. I copied the Copied the /usr/share/doc/openldap-servers-2.4.15/DB_CONFIG.example to /var/lib/ldap/DB_CONFIG. Then started the server with the command /etc/rc.d/init.d/ldap start I then was able to create and delete OU's and CN's with the help of ldapadd and ldapdelete. I also created PERSON records using the base.ldif file with the content ;
Everything is OK until I try to add a person with an email address in the "mail" attribute. The error message is ;
*************************** adding new entry "cn=user1, ou=domain, dc=example, dc=com ldap_add: Object class violation (65) additional info: attribute 'mail' not allowed ***************************
This error message is appearing also with "uid" attribute. I have searched some forums and found some suggestions to include the line "include /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.scheme" in the file /etcopenldap/slapd.conf, which is already in.
I am setting up LDAP server, i set slapd.conf(dc=proldap,dc=com) and start ldap it is OK but when i check using ldapsearch -x -b '' -s base '(objectclass=*)' namingContexts result is : namingContexts: dc=my-domain,dc=com
it seems that it did not use my slapd.conf so i tried removing my slapd.conf from /etc/openldap and start slapd again and it did start with no errors. and when i do ldapsearch again still uses dc=my-domain,dc=com
I tried searching about this in google and found no answers,
my reference in setting up ldap is the link below. but it seemed that it always uses another configuration not the one i modified
I'm using Fedora12, ldap version 2.4.19. i installed ldap by yum install url
A time ago I've been trying to implement a PDC linux server with Samba and Openldap for centralized authentication for windows and linux clients, but I can NOT get it. So I read somewhere that there is another option called Directory Server and maybe that is possible to do. According to your experience do you recommend any 'how to' or 'tutorial' that will permit implement a PDC server for authenticating and sharing files and printers for windows and linux clients?
I have been having some trouble configuring a means to remotely administer an Ubuntu Sever 10.04 machine i recently built and am hoping for some guidance. I'm sorta new to linux so please forgive my ignorance of conf files and the command line . I am looking to have this server serve as...VPN Server, Minecraft Server, KVM Server, Torrent and Dyn-DNS box.I have managed to install all the KVM settings including bridged networking running (Personal victory there) and sorta have Minecraft running (only need to figure out how to make it launch on boot). Torrents already taken care of since Transmission came along with the ubuntu desktop install .The big thing that is slowing me down is remote management. I installed ubuntu desktop (thankfully its Gnome 2), i know that most people don't like it but its what i'm most familiar with. I tried running VNC but always needed to login on the physical machine before I could use that which defeats the purpose. I am now using xrdp which frankly the performance is terrible compared to what i was getting with the built in VNC server and still needed the monitor on and active to connec
I have Apache 2.2.12, Gallery2, PostgreSQL 8.4, and XCache (PHP cache) humming along on a Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) server. Can someone recommend GUI postgreSQL admin tool for managing the database other than pgAdmin?
I have OpenVPN setup and running on my home server (Lucid Lynx). I move around alot and use Portable OpenVPN to connect to my home server. The problem is a lot of the computers I use I do not have admin rights to install the necessary routes to connect. So my question is this. Can OpenVPN be configured to use PPTP protocol? Because I have PortableVPN on my U3 flash drive and that VPN client does not need admin rights to run. If OpenVPN cannot do this, and from my understanding of its archetecture it cannot, but I must admit i am no authority on the matter. Can you suggest a workable solution, ie. install and setup this server software and use this portable client software.
