Problem doing BIND with uid
I'm trying to do this (prompted for password):
poplar# ldapsearch -D 'uid=mstella,ou=People,dc=myseasons,dc=com'\
-b 'ou=people,dc=myseasons,dc=com' 'uid=mstauffe'
Bind Password:
LDAP Server is V2: execute command with LDAP V2...
ldap_simple_bind_s: Invalid credentials
But when I do this:
poplar# ldapsearch -D 'cn=michael k stella,ou=People,dc=myseasons,dc=com'\
-b 'ou=people,dc=myseasons,dc=com' 'uid=mstauffe'
the command works perfectly. Why is this? I am using a web-based password
changer thing written in perl, and I'd prefer to use the uid fields rather than
the users' full names. I am missing something, and I suspect it's *very*
simple. Apologies if this has been discussed before, I could not find anything
useful in the archives.
I can provide slapd.conf or ldap.conf if need be.
