I'm testing the 389 directory server in our lab environment before moving it to production and have noticed that occasionally it won't let me log in. I have to restart the nscd service before it will authenticate my user. Here's the error in /var/log/secure: Mar 22 09:59:31 watcher sshd[18109]: pam_unix(sshd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=10.2.3.100 user=scarolan Mar 22 09:59:31 watcher sshd[18109]: pam_ldap: error trying to bind as user "uid=scarolan,ou=People, dc=companyname, dc=com" (Invalid credentials) Has anyone else experienced something like this? Any idea what causes it? I want to make sure our LDAP authentication is rock-solid reliable before moving it into the production environment.
