OK one step closer (I hope) 1 - stupid mistake using ldapsearch with just a host name makes the server expect a password
ldapsearch -h xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -xLLL -b "ou=Users,dc=dcmc" generates a list of users and their details - works locally from my machine and the client machine :-) 2 - client still can't authenticate :-( I realised that all the various bits I was reading all said answer no to the question about authentication but I had not spotted in Javiers example file that a bindpw was included - another oops Now I have a base for search of ou=Users,dc=dcmc binddn cn=ebox,dc=dcmc bindpw copied from ldap.secrets (same on both server and client) rootbinddn same as binddn rootbindpw same as bindpw My authlogs now tell me I have an authentication failure, unknown user so at least I am getting a sensible conversation between client and server. 3 - I have read so many things on setting this up my head is spinning but I must have something wrong in somewhere like nsswitch.conf or one of the pam.d files (probably the latter as getent passwd generates a nice list of /etc/passwd like stuff) This last bit of testing is on a fresh install of ubuntu9.10 with ebox-desktop installed.
