I'm trying to get a Tru64 5.1b host to act as a client for LDAP, with
a Redhat 9 server. The Tru64 host is set to basic security. Local
root login works, and root can su to a username found via LDAP, and
gets the right shell and home directory. But login as the same LDAP
user fails. Presumably there's a password lookup problem. Sniffing
packets shows that the client is talking to the server and getting a
response, with proper info (home dir, shell, gecos, etc.).
Also, when I try to select "Manage LDAP Users" in sysman, I get an
error:
LDAP is not available because:
couldn't execute "Error: missing attribute userPassword for
dn=cn=nilsen-www,ou=Group,dc=physics,dc=ohio-state,dc=edu
Error: missing attribute userPassword for dn=cn=st": file name too
long
"missing attribute userPassword" sounds suspicious. I should mention
that user authentication is working for Redhat clients.
