Re: Installing a server on Solaris 2.9



Hi.
I've just done it on my Solaris 9 server.
It was built without SASL/Kerb. And it worked. But I had problem with
passwords stored in CRYPT format in LDAP database. It didn't work until I
rebuilt LDAP with "--enable-crypt" option.
After that I can bind with passwords in CRYPT.
What do you use for login? Telnet? SSH?
If you still use simple "bind" with no SSL/TLS, you can "snoop" on your
server side with verbose mode to analyse packets to/from clients. Snoop has
quite friendly interface. :-) As root launch
snoop -v host <your_host> port 389 | more
You will see Bind request and Bind responses with Success or Failure in LDAP
section pf packets.
Hope it will help you.
