Hello all, i have a problem with the squid_ldap_auth helpers. I'm trying to authenticate against an Active Directory (W3K). For the following command this works fine: ./squid_ldap_auth -b "ou=myOU,dc=foo,dc=domain,dc=com" -s sub -D "squid@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx" -w squidpwd -f "(&(objectcategory=person)(objectclass=user))" -h 10.45.100.10 -p 389 user1 pwd1 OK The directory structure looks like this dc=foo,dc=domain,dc=com ou=myOU ou=org1 ou=org2 ou=org3 ...and so on. So i want to use "dc=foo,dc=domain,dc=com" as a more generic search base. I want to authenticate all users regardless of the OU they are in. But if i do this i get the following errors: ./squid_ldap_auth -b "dc=foo,dc=domain,dc=com" -s sub -D "squid@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx -w squidpwd -f "(&(objectcategory=person)(objectclass=user))" -h 10.45.100.10 -p 389 user1 pwd1 squid_ldap_auth: WARNING, LDAP search error 'Can't contact LDAP server' ERR Success Things i tried so far: Moving the squid user (user i use for the bind to the ad) from cn=Users to the root. Nothing changed. Tried an ldapsearch with the mentioned searchfilter. Works. Any suggestions?
