Hi

Thanks so much for responding to my post.

I managed to find out this but from what I don't get is why after having
installed and configured clients to authenticate towards the server
correctly they still don't do it, I have looked for any log files that could
give me some clue of what I have done rong but no luck the error log in the
admin interface says nothing that is of use, I have also read the manual
from one side to the other but I can not find anything that tells me what
steps that I have been forgetting.

Is there any error logs that it generats that it generates that can give me
some more clues?
I'm not sure where pam and nss log - possibly /var/log/secure
You can see what searches are being performed against the directory server by looking at /var/log/dirsrv/slapd-yourinstance/access

Hi List

After having installed Directory Server with no problems and created a test
user account I then go ahead to configure a client to test the
authentication to my new directory server, sadly after a reboot I can't
login with my new user account that I created, I have spent a few days
reading up about what the problem may be but until now I have had very
little joy.

If I try ldapsearch -v then I get error message:
SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started
Ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s:unknown authentication method (-6)
   additional info: SASL(-4): no mechanism available:
This is because the openldap ldapsearch client attempts SASL
authentication by default.  You have to specify -x to make it use simple
(username/password or anonymous) authentication.
If i use ldapsearch -x then I get the output of a ldif file with all groups,
users and domains available so there is apparently nothing rong with the
communication, I truly belive that this is a security problem that sits
somewhere but I have no idea.
I don't think this is a security problem.
Could anyone give me some pointers to how I could fix this problem?
