Yes, I agree. Which LDAP server he's using is not the issue. I think Matthew's point was more of "389 does this out of the box, while OpenLDAP requires complicated configuration to enable this", so if Volker is setting up LDAP for the first time, it might be simplest to go with 389. As I said earlier, I myself am not versed in setting up OpenLDAP (I use FreeIPA, which is based on 389), but the real place to ask about configuration issues would be on the openldap-software mailing list: http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-software/ > > I have done this with previous versions of Fedora and if you are willing > to wait until Sunday, I will test it out at home (I don't use LDAP for > Fedora client authentication at my house, only Samba clients and on the > LDAP server itself). > It's also worth noting that there's going to be an OpenLDAP Test Day for Fedora 14 on October 14th. This might also be a good place to ask configuration questions: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2010-10-14_OpenLDAP/NSS Finally, if your problem is urgent, try joining the IRC channel #openldap on irc.freenode.net and ask there. - -- Stephen Gallagher RHCE 804006346421761 Delivering value year after year.
