Hello.

I followed the guide described here configure LDAP, but I keep getting following error when running "getent passwd", is there any reason for that?

Dear All,

can anyone tell me what is the difference between these two files of LDAP client /etc/ldap.conf and /etc/ldap/ldap.conf and for what purposes these two files gives services. Is it necessary to have these two files at a time ?

I followed the guide from the below link to set up a ldap server.

I have been able to setup 389 LDAP server and SSSD client authentication. However, whenever I login using ldap user after each login it displays the error

ttt@dsl's password: Last login: Thu Dec 6 12:52:06 2012 id: cannot find name for group ID 6006

I tried with multiple different users and multiple types. I am using Centos 6 on both server and client side.

We've finally set-up our server to accept ldap SSL connections thanks to another question answered by a helpful member.

Our problem now is that when attempting to bind to ldap using the below simple PHP script, we constantly fail. Binding using ldap instead of ldaps works just fine using the script so I know the ldap is enabled.

Hi,

I've been trying to find the answer with no luck. I'm hoping someone can help me. Here's what I need to do:

Run a KSH script that will check:

1. Server (Client) Type (AIX 5.3, 6.1, SUSE, and HP-UX are the possibilities). 2. LDAP.cfg is configured correctly and the ldap client service is running.
