Fedora directory users - May 2006 - Re: account lockout and proxy DN Solaris

Hi Rich,

I''m pretty sure the proxyDN is using the correct password. Could the
password enryption scheme be the problem? I''ve selected MD5 in the
directory.
When doing an ldap bind as proxyDN I use the same password as I specified
when setting up the Solaris client using ldapinit.
If the password would be wrong, would I not always get the "Object not
found
(Session error no available conn)" error instead of only after a few
minutes?


Best Regards,
Jo

I don''t know.  /etc/ldap.conf has to have the cleartext password in 
order to bind to the directory.

I don''t know, but you only get account lockout if you provide the 
incorrect password.  One way to find out for sure - go to the access log 
on the directory server and look for the BIND requests for the proxyDN 
from the clients in question.
