LDAP trouble with OS X Server 10.2.1

[Anonymous]

Hi,

we’re trying to set up our XServe to provide login information to our SuSE Linux clients via LDAP V3. Authentication works without any problems but changing a user password from a Linux LDAP client doesn’t.

I configured in slapd.conf:

access to attr=userpassword
by self write
by * read

but trying to change the user password from the Linux server results in an error message: “Constraint violation”. Did anyone encounter this problem so far? I suspect there might be an error in the netinfo.schema file as this file provides no mapping information for the LDAP userPassword entity.

I’d appreciate any input on this problem, I’m trying to get this to work for about a week now :-(.

Best regards,
Michael

actually, i’m quite interested how you even got that far. anything particular to watch out for?

i’m about to try the exact same thing in our office: switch our windows users in accounting and managemnt over to suse 8.1 with open office to join the macosx users in graphics… 😉

any input? do the home directories of your linux users reside on the osx server?

any help would be greatly appreciated -> i’m now SO close to turning my first client into a MICROSOFT FREE ZONE…!
