    Hi,

    I’m quite new with ldap so not sure if the right wordings are used here.

    This is my situation:

    -Library environment with a system that contains library card users (unique barcode and pin # per user)
    -Setting up public Mac Leopard iMacs and need to allow users to use their library barcode and pin # to authenticate.
    -LDAP server is up and running for other services and authenticating against for other services.
    -Want to use this LDAP on the clients so that users can authenticate against.
    -LDAP on a separate subnet in the organization
    -Firewall in our organization has been configured to allow our subnet to communicate with LDAP.

    This is the current setup:

    -Clients running OSX10.5.6, patched and running ok.
    -Clients also have an OD configured so that our “staff” users can login.
    -OD service running on the Mac Server for our “staff” users. This is running fine when a staff wants to login.

    This is what I have done so far:

    -Added the LDAP server on a client through Directory Utility.
    -Put in the proper settings and now I have 2 directory servers listed with GREEN light and saying server is responding normally.
    -Tested look up of users from client…
    – In terminal I used the id command: “id
    – I successfully get the user info for the user on the OD server with no problems

    – I then check a user that is suppose to be on the LDAP: “id
    – Response I get is “no such user”

    Questoins:

    -What now? I have setup the directory utility to use settings from server
    -Plugged in the proper base search info
    -Everything on a static IP network (don’t think this matters though).

    Any feedback would be great. Thanks in advance.

    -Garry

    The ldap server should be a linux box but will need to confirm this from the sys admin when back to work Monday… stay tuned…
