I'm looking for troubleshooting advice- hope someone has some insight I can borrow. Trying to get a Solaris8 client (with the latest ldap patchcluster) to do simple authentication against FDS. When setup for anonymous auth, I'm able to do ldap list just fine: # ldaplist -l passwd tester dn: cn=test user,ou=People,dc=corp,dc=example,dc=com givenName: test sn: user loginShell: /bin/bash gidNumber: 1024 uidNumber: 5351 mail: tester at example.com objectClass: person objectClass: organizationalPerson objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: posixAccount objectClass: top uid: tester gecos: test user cn: test user homeDirectory: /nethome/tester When setup for simple auth (and that's all I've changed), I'm seeing error 49 (invalid credentials) in the FDS logs: [10/Aug/2007:14:45:02 -0700] conn=25532 fd=65 slot=65 connection from 172.20.100.85 to 172.20.200.125 [10/Aug/2007:14:45:02 -0700] conn=25532 op=0 BIND dn="cn=sunldap,ou=profile,dc=corp,dc=example,dc=com" method=128 version=3 [10/Aug/2007:14:45:02 -0700] conn=25532 op=0 RESULT err=49 tag=97 nentries=0 etime=0 [10/Aug/2007:14:45:02 -0700] conn=25532 op=1 UNBIND [10/Aug/2007:14:45:02 -0700] conn=25532 op=1 fd=65 closed - U1 Here's my /var/ldap/ldap_client_cred file NS_LDAP_BINDDN= cn=sunldap,ou=profile,dc=corp,dc=example,dc=com NS_LDAP_BINDPASSWD= {NS1}8cf5886bf25241a5a5045e How do I verify that the NS1 crypt is correct outside of the solaris client (or ldap_gen_profile)? The password in FDS for the above proxy user is stored in CRYPT format in FDS- is this mismatch really supported ? I can bind with the 'sunldap' user just fine from my linux hosts using ldapsearch. suggestions?
