Hello Debianistas! We're a bit new to the LDAP world and are having trouble configuring a connection to the LDAP server.
Using "ldapsearch" as a diagnostic tool, here's what we are getting: # ldapsearch -h 10.3.1.37 SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Unknown authentication method (-6) So we need a username/password pair to connect then, right? We've figured out how to specify the password, but not a username: # ldapsearch -x -h 10.3.1.37 -W -X u:ldapuser ldapsearch: -X incompatible with authentication choice # ldapsearch -x -h 10.3.1.37 -W -U ldapuser ldapsearch: incompatible previous authentication choice As you can see, the manpage seems to be assuming some background information we don't know yet. :) And googling turned up some questions with overlap to ours here, but the answers don't appear to be posted in their entirety. :( Any pointers welcome -- thanks! # ldapsearch -x -h 10.3.1.37 -W Enter LDAP Password: # extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base <> (default) with scope subtree # filter: (objectclass=*) # requesting: ALL # # search result search: 2 result: 32 No such object text: 0000208D: NameErr: DSID-031001A8, problem 2001 (NO_OBJECT), data 0, bes t match of: '' # numResponses: 1 -- will trillich "Tis the set of the sails / And not the gales / That tells the way we go." -- Ella Wheeler Wilcox -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
