Hello,
First of all, I am new.
I first asked this question over at [H] forums but the only reply I got was to post it here. I am not familiar with Macs. I use Redhat/CentOS/Ubuntu and Win7 on a daily basis.
Intro:
We currently have a Ubuntu server running an ldap server in our lab. LDAP clients include Redhat computers, CentOS computer and Ubuntu machines. I am very unfamiliar with how that whole arrangement was initially setup but I am capable of retreiving information such as 'ssl is turned on' kinds of things from ldap.conf
We currently purchased a iMac and I would like to have it setup such that we can have LDAP authentication going on as that computer is used by many in the lab. It has Mac OS 10.7.3.
I have searched some and I find a lot of info about forcing binding, LDAP setup with Active Directory (not LDAP), and some that start off as "setup LDAP as you did in Snow Leopard.... 😕"
So, my question is, does anyone have a guide or a know-how on how I can get LDAP client authentication working. I have tried many a things from turning on and off ssl, to trying to figure out advertised information from our server. Whatever I try, I also get some error in the form of "could not establish a connection" sort of thing. Really don't think it is a firewall issue as I figured out how to set up LDAP on ubuntu 10.04 at home.
Thanks in advance.
