That's probably a good > place to start getting things set up. I've actually used that. It seems to only set the ldap.conf file settings of host and base (and it screwed up host).

I've checked "use shadow passwords", "local authorization is sufficient for local users" and "Authenticate system accounts by network services" in the Options tab. is that sufficient? -- 389 users mailing list 389-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/389-users
