LDAP Help

[Ashcrow]

I can't figure out how to get a user to authenticate in LDAP (just using the ldapsearch CLI tool). I've added a inetPersonOrg/person to the directory with a userPassword field but when I do something like:

ldapsearch -x -b "cn=Richard,ou=richard,ou=test,dc=mysite,dc=com" "(objectclass=inetOrgPerson)" -w testing

I get Invalid credentials (49). Here is the Richard ldif:

dn: cn=Richard,ou=richard,ou=test,dc=mysite,dc=com
cn: Richard Tompson
sn: Tompson
userPassword: testing
objectClass: person
objectClass: inetOrgPerson

Help!

I'm not experienced, just remembering something I read - but is there an LDAP module to pam that you need??

Duh nevermind... ;D

Hmm, I would think about modifying that LDAP tree. I don't think it's really setup right to do user authentication. My record for work goes like this:

uid=prae,ou=CTC,ou=YEC,ou=staff,ou=users,dc=mysite ,dc=org

Of course I've changed two things, but that's it! I assume you require username and password authentication just to search the tree…does your user have access to do this?
