I'm seeing a problem where I can authenticate as a user using the ldap tools (ie ldapsearch) but I am unable to login using PAM.
Comparing debug on the server shows that ldapsearch is doing a new BIND, where's PAM is not: Jun 4 14:58:52 ldap-server slapd[5158]: => dn: [1] Jun 4 14:58:52 ldap-server slapd[5158]: => acl_get: [2] attr userPassword Jun 4 14:58:52 ldap-server slapd[5158]: access_allowed: no res from state (userPassword) Jun 4 14:58:52 ldap-server slapd[5158]: => acl_mask: access to entry "uid=jrhett,ou=Users,dc=equinix,dc=com", attr "userPassword" requested Jun 4 14:58:52 ldap-server slapd[5158]: => acl_mask: to value by "", (=0) Jun 4 14:58:52 ldap-server slapd[5158]: <= check a_dn_pat: anonymous Jun 4 14:58:52 ldap-server slapd[5158]: <= acl_mask: [1] applying auth(=xd) (stop) Jun 4 14:58:52 ldap-server slapd[5158]: <= acl_mask: [1] mask: auth(=xd) Jun 4 14:58:52 ldap-server slapd[5158]: => access_allowed: auth access granted by auth(=xd) Jun 4 14:58:52 ldap-server slapd[5158]: send_ldap_result: conn=75 op=2 p=3 Jun 4 14:58:52 ldap-server slapd[5158]: send_ldap_result: err=49 matched="" text="" Jun 4 14:58:52 ldap-server slapd[5158]: send_ldap_response: msgid=3 tag=97 err=49 Jun 4 14:58:52 ldap-server slapd[5158]: conn=75 op=2 RESULT tag=97 err=49 text= Now ldapsearch has identical debug output down until just below the access_allowed line.

The key to this problem is that I'm trying to avoid putting system logins, rootbinddns on each server, and just do anonymous bind's for authentication. No configuration file on this client has a valid Manager or any other authentication password, and I'm trying to keep it that way. In theory, this should work ;-) I mean, ldapsearch works fine ... -- Jo Rhett Net Consonance : consonant endings by net philanthropy, open source and other randomness
