I have been struggling with windows sync for a while now. I am running FDS 1.0 on Centos 4.3. I have read Howto:SSL and when doing an "ldapsearch -x -ZZ" and "netstat -an | grep 636" all look okay. Once this was complete on the FDS side, I setup the windows 2003 standard server via the instructions listed previously on the list. www.archivesat.com/Fedora_Directory_server_developer_discussion./thread92993 4.htm Most of this was a bit confusing to me because I am somewhat new to LDAP and SSL cert setup. When I attempt to sync, I get the error: The consumer initialization has unsuccessfully completed. The error received by the replica is: '49 -LDAP error: Invalid credentials'. simple authentication I used bind as: cn=administrator I must be missing some step. Any idea or methods to troubleshoot this? Is there a more complete "FDS with PassSync Howto" out there? Thanks
