I can use ldapbrowser to see the directory anonymously, but FM Server 7 wont allow an anonymous authentication. The other accounts I tried for User DN fail to connect.

Am I supposed to create an account in Workgroup Manager just for directory authentication?

What setting in OS X Server allows the directory to be authenticated with an account rather than anonymously?

Thanks, but I get the same error in the Event Log:

Registration with directory service failed. (Invalid DN syntax)

Any other ideas?

That’s good to know, and I appreciate your help. I’m not sure where the problem is. Perhaps it’s something as simple as the syntax.

I’m using OS 10.3.6’s Open Directory. I have it set up as an Open Directory Master using LDAP. The search base is

dc=mydomain,dc=org

And I have dir.mydomain.org registered with our ISP to point to this server’s IP address (obviously “mydomain” is not actually my domain.) I can see the directory with “LDAP Browser”.

My FileMaker Server is setup for external authentication like this:

Directory server name: dir.mydomain.org
Distinguished name: ou=admin,dc=dir,dc=mydomain,dc=org

Login Settings:
Account: admin
Password:****

The error I see in FileMaker’s event log is:
Registration with directory service failed. (Invalid DN syntax)

I have tried variations on the DN syntax, but I get the same error.

Thanks,

–Mike
