LDAP Admin user bind issue

[Xenu]

Hi,

I’m trying to log into my Zeroshell’s LDAP server using phpldapadmin.
I need to alter the users to include an attribute our PGP server uses.
I was hoping to use just one LDAP server for the entire company but our PGP server requires me to add an inetorgperson attribute called EmployeeType to each account.

So, I tried to be able to alter the user attributes by using phpldapadmin but it rejects my username and password when using

uid=admin,ou=People,dc=mycompany,dc=co,dc=uk

as my login name and i know this is the correct DN.

I AM able to bind to the LDAP server anonymously, but thats read only so cannot alter the attributes of users.

Is the password for the admin user in the web interface the same as the admin users LDAP account password ? Is using phpldapadmin even possible (any tried it?)

If not, is there any way I can alter user attributes to include an attribute ?

Many thanks and keep up the good work, Zeroshell rocks – WPA2 Enterprise in 10 minutes!

It is possible to connect using “cn=Manager,dc=mycompany,dc=co,dc=uk” and a password of admin user using LDAP browser. Not sure about phpLdapAdmin.

nope it rejects that as well… 🙁

when i anonymously bind to LDAP with phpldapadmin and look at the admin user, it reports the DN correctly as

Distinguished Name: uid=admin,ou=People,dc=mycompany,dc=co,dc=uk

cheers

Yep i’ve added the attribute to the user and PGP works fine…

I cant thank you enough

Glad to hear that. I’m not sure that your changes are persistent. Not whether they disappear after a reboot?
Best regards

I have just checked and rebooted the server, I can confirm the changes to LDAP are persistent.

Thank you again
