The package I need to reconfigure is libnss-ldap.

So I type

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg-reconfigure libnss-ldap
And the output is

Code: Select all

 * Running nssldap-update-ignoreusers...                                 [ OK ] 
update-rc.d: warning: libnss-ldap start runlevel arguments (2 3 4 5) do not match LSB Default-Start values (none)
Any ideas?

those are warnings hinting at something else.. not outright prangs...

just for sh1ts and giggles, try:

Code: Select all

dpkg-reconfigure ldap-auth-config

I'm getting sick of struggling... Seriously.

I'm back in windows using webmin to sort out LDAP because this is just one damn irritating thing to work with. Anyhow, I installed LDAP client and server using webmin, and now, when I go to LDAP client, and try to Validate Configurations it gives the following output:

Code: Select all

Finding LDAP base for users ..
.. found base dc=3bm,dc=local.

Connecting to LDAP server ..
Failed to bind to LDAP server web.3bm.local as cn=administrator,dc=3bm,dc=local : Invalid credentials
EDIT: web is the linux server that will host the intraweb locally.

hmm... confirm...
1) after the reconfigure, you corrected the various config files
2) you restarted the LDAP services in order to flush the cache
3) administrator is local to 3bm.local
4) administrator password has no "special" characters, (i've seen translation errors before which presented this...)

Which various config files? Then I'll go check them.

I restarted ubuntu, does that count?

How would I find this out? I assumed it is...

It has an underscore... Is that a special character?

that's correct...

does the adminstrator user exist on the local box or is this a domain user?
DarkRanger wrote:It has an underscore... Is that a special character?
no.. that should be fine, but you could try modifying this and seeing what the effect is...

Okay, this might be my problem. ASSUMING config files are created when a module is installed, it means I don't have two modules installed as neither /etc/pam_ldap.conf nor /etc/libnss-ldap.conf exists. Is this assumption correct?

Which modules are these? :?

I still don't understand this. The webserver is local, the Active directory is local. administrator is the login name for the ubuntu server, as well as the exchange server (on which Active Directory is located)
