Thanks for suggestion. However still no luck. Yes _e3user was password. I tried -W and -w too. BTW, let me again repeat the steps done for configuration
- Install openldap - Change /etc/openldap/ldap.conf property file - Tried to login to linux box using LDAP credential -> it did not work - Tried running authconfig with enableldap, enableldapauth etc... with -update all filter - Tried to login to linux box using LDAP credential -> Linux box unexpectedly closed the connection and putty window closed - Tried to run ldapsearch.....here I am now Do you think, there are some steps or configurations I am missing. I am basically not looking for ldapsearch command to run rather I just wanted peoples having ldap credential easily login to the linux box. regards, Rb ________________________________ From: Echedey Lorenzo <[email protected]> To: Cool The Breezer <[email protected]> Cc: Jonathan Clarke <[email protected]>; [email protected] Sent: Mon, March 1, 2010 2:25:26 PM Subject: Re: OpenLDAP client configuration with CentOS 5.3 Watch the space: ldapsearch -x -H ldap://xxx.yyy.com -D "cn=Directory Manager" "(objectclass=*)" -W _e3user (assuming _e3user is your password. maybe you should try with -w also) 2010/3/1 Echedey Lorenzo <[email protected]> >Try: > >ldapsearch -x -H ldap://xxx.yyy.com-D "cn=Directory Manager" >"(objectclass=*)" -W _e3user > >KR > > >2010/3/1 Cool The Breezer <[email protected]> > > >I tried as per suggestions using man page.
