Thanks for suggestion. However still no luck.
Yes _e3user was password. I tried -W and -w too.
BTW, let me again repeat the steps done for configuration
- Install openldap
- Change /etc/openldap/ldap.conf property file
- Tried to login to linux box using LDAP credential -> it did not work
- Tried running authconfig with enableldap, enableldapauth etc... with
-update all filter
- Tried to login to linux box using LDAP credential -> Linux box
unexpectedly closed the connection and putty window closed
- Tried to run ldapsearch.....here I am now
Do you think, there are some steps or configurations I am missing.
