Hello List, I am very new to OpenLDAP and I am trying
to put a Linux box authenticating trough OpenLDAP instead of using the standard
password file. For this use I followed the tutorial you
can find at http://ldots.org/ldap/ but it
seems this howto is out of date. The first problem I ran into was when trying
to insert a new user in LDIF format, I corrected the first error I got and now
this is the file I have dn: uid=myuser,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com uid: myuser cn: myuser sn: Doe givenname: John objectclass:
person objectclass:
posixaccount objectclass:
account ou: People uidnumber: 10001 gidnumber: 10001 homedirectory=:
/home/ldap/john loginshell:
/bin/bash When I try to run ldapadd I get the
following error: adding new entry
"uid=branc0,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com" ldap_add: Invalid syntax (21) additional info: objectclass: value #1
invalid per syntax I am not sure what the problem is, although
I’m pretty sure it is between the chair and the keyboard. Maybe someone
on the list can direct me to a more up-to-date tutorial on setting up
authentication with LDAP ? OpenLDAP version is 2.4.7 |
