Re: [CentOS] ldap: adding user to multiple groups

I tried that a while back, together with webmin and that php thing.

I was kinda hoping to use webmin for everything; DNS, DHCP, LDAP so that a jr sys admin could manage our intranet based services. But with LDAP, webmin doesn't seem to like adding users to groups and errors out.

So I just hand edit an ldif for now and ldapmodify.

I'll revisit the webmin error regarding adding users to groups and see whats going on.

I use webmin's LDAP Users and Groups to administer both users and groups

• it works fine if configured properly.

Perfect!

You mind sharing some nuggets?

First, my issue;

Using webmin, I can add users and also add them to groups and secondary group during initial creation of that user.

However if I then try to add an already created user to a secondary group, webmin fails with;

Failed to save group : Failed to modify group in LDAP database : modify/delete: description: no such attribute

I can do this using ldapmodify with an ldif file, just not via webmin.

I can add, remove users via webmin, I just can't add them to secondary groups after I've created them.

I can only add them to secondary groups during initial creation of that user.

Any help would be very very cool.

Thanks in advance Craig.
