Hi Everyone.

I am doing some LDAP testing. I have setup a 389 Directory Server on CentOS 5 and using the default schema I have populated it with a couple of users. I then did the configuration on the client that I thought was needed to make it authenticate.

To test this I expected to be able to use id <uidNumber> of a user I had defined. But I get id: 1001: No such user id: 5001: No such user

I then thought perhaps it was an LDAP permissions problem so I tried binding to the LDAP server using a user I know has full rights using these entries in /etc/openldap/ldap.conf there was no change.

BINDDN cn=admin,dc=scms,dc=waikato,dc=ac,dc=nz BINDPW LDAPt3st

I can query these users from a desktop that I want to use the LDAP server as an authentication source.

Using

* ldapsearch -x -H ldap://distilled.scms.waikato.ac.nz -b dc=scms,dc=waikato,dc=ac,dc=nz uid=LDilks* # extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base <dc=scms,dc=waikato,dc=ac,dc=nz> with scope subtree # filter: uid=LDilks # requesting: ALL #

The three files config files I am aware of are

cat /etc/openldap/ldap.conf # # LDAP Defaults #

# See ldap.conf(5) for details # This file should be world readable but not world writable.

#BASE dc=example, dc=com #URI ldap://ldap.example.com ldap://ldap-master.example.com:666

Can anyone give me any pointers as to where I am going wrong ?? And can anyone confirm or deny that by default I should be able to bind anonymously and get the required authentication information ?

Thank you for any help you can offer.
