I tried that and I am getting this error: ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s:unknown authentication method (-6) additional info:sasl(-4): no mechanism available:

Any idea?

It looks like your server does not know the authentication method. Does it work with 'ldapsearch -x' ? And ldapsearch -v should tell you more

Hello List,

I have installed Centos Directory Server to be able to authenticate with ldap on the other servers in the system, the directory server seems to be working fine, but when I configure a test server to authenticate up against this server then it says that there is no such user, I have made sure that the config is correct on the client /etc/ldap.conf is there also the /etc/openldap/ldap.conf is there and both is configured correctly, i have tried to telnet from the client to the server on port 389 and that also works.

Does anyone have any idea of what I am missing here?

Thanks in advance

Maybe ldapsearch will help. Try connecting with ldapsearch to the server and see if that works.

Hi Didi

Thanks again for your help.

When I type ldapsearch -x it comes up with the complete list of users and groups, but if i do the ldapsearch -v it gives me the same error: SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s:unknown authentication method (-6) additional info:sasl(-4): no mechanism available:

Does your server/cleint have ssl? How secure does this have to be. Normally you have to set up the certificates to do it over SASL. If it is at home and you don't need to be bullet proof you can just use simple auth. I know people are going to hate me because of this, but if you just want it to work this might be an option.

Any idea of what authentication method ldap uses?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Authentication_and_Security_Layer

might explain a few things.

Cheers Didi
