I am not sure if this a misconfiguration on my side or if PAM_LDAP is being greedy/lazy/buggy or where else the problem lies. I see a succesfull result for every ldap search request in LDAP so I am not sure why every user would need to be queried if only one user needs to authenticate. We use a seperate user to speak to the Directory specified in /etc/ldap.conf. I am not sure if that would make a difference. binddn uid=SysAuth,ou=Service Accounts,dc=mycompany Any thoughts would be appreciated and suggestions for a nice tool to analyze LDAP conversations would be much appreciated. I am playing with dsniff and netsniff-ng.
