Fedora directory users - Feb 2007 - authentication linux users via Fedora directory server

Hi

My goal is to authenticate our users via the Fedora directory server (FDS
7.1).
The users OS is RedHat entrerprise linux 4, update 4.

I have started with openldap and everything works fine. Using the same
clients configuration file (exept changing the HOST to the fedora directory
server IP) i have fail to authenticate users to the FDS.
I created two users (via the console) and define the posixaccount parameters
as well.
I also failed to add new users via ldapadd using prepared ldif file.

I have a feeling that i miss somthing with the bind authentication. Maybe
somthing related to the why Fedora relate to the passwd (md5,Sha.....).

Any idea?

Thanks in advance

Please look at the FDS access log to look for failed BIND or SRCH
attempts.

You might also want to post your /etc/ldap.conf file
