LDAP Question

[stud33]

I have an Xserve running OS X Server 10.4.9. The problem I am encountering is getting the Xserve to communicate with our existing LDAP (Unix, OpenLDAP) system correctly. I have added the LDAP entry to Directory Access and used the RFC 2307 Unix template. Everything looked great and I thought to myself this was way to easy. I opened WGM and to my surprise all the users showed when connected to the LDAP. The only problem I am encountering is the authentication. When I map a public drive smb://domain.org/public with any user in the LDAP I receive this error “Could not connect to the server because the name or password is not correct”. I have tried serveral different configurations and everything stems back to this. If anyone has encountered this problem or has a solution please let me know. Thank You and once again any help is greatly appreciated.

Note: I have logged out and logged back into the server using LDAPv3 as the authentication. The problem seems to be in WGM.

What I mean by maping the drive is as follows:

I have a public share called public that I would like to share out with Samba:

smb://domain.org/public

Note: I am having a problem with the authentication from my ldap. I have setup Directory Access to point to my exisiting LDAP server (Unix/OpenLDAP). When I go into WGM I select the authentication to the LDAP. I know that it has connected correctly because it has populated the Users into WGM. I can see that Name, shortname, UID, GroupID, password,etc.. I do not know why it is not authenticating the share when I try to connect to it. If I logout of the server and login back in I can login from one of the users from the LDAP, so it must be something in WGM. Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
If you want to use WGM to connect to an OpenLDAP, you have to connect first to localhost with a local admin user and then click on the small blue sphere on the left. Then you can choose your LDAP server (if it’s already configured in Directory format).
I don’t know what you intend to do with this but the only way to create users with WGM on an OpenLDAP is to include the apple.schema and map correctly every entry in WGM.

Cheers,
Julien.
