Fedora directory users - Jun 2006 - Authenticating / Binding user via LDAP to Fedora Directory Server

Running Fedora Directory Server v 1.0.2 on Fedora Core 4

 

I can access the directory server just fine anonymously but I can not
bind as a user with a password. I am an AD guy slowly moving to Linux so
it could very well be me. 

 

The FDS is a fresh install; I was able to sync users from my Windows
2000 AD. I know that the password do not sync up so I created a simple
web page using php and ldap_mod_replace to set / change users passwords.
This page works; I bind to a user w/o a password. I can even set the
password using the page. But I can not bind as a user using a password,
but for some odd reason even if a user has a password I can bind
anonymously to them and set the password (I assume it''s a ACL setting
that is causing this). My main problem is binding as a user with a
password. I have also tried an LDAP query with Mozilla Thunderbird and
get similar results binding as anonymous I have no problems but if I try
as a user I get nothing.

 

Thanks in advance for your help.
