[Fedora-directory-devel] LDAP Authentication

[Michiel van Heukelom - Van Boxtel Software BV]

Problem with authenticate. 

I've installed fedora-ds-1.0.4-1.RHEL4.i386.opt.rpm and it seems to be working fine. I
can manage users by the console. On another machine i want to use the directory, but when
ik log in, in /var/log/messages i get the following error: 

Feb 23 13:07:59 ldap-vm4 remote(pam_unix)[3885]: check pass; user unknown 

Feb 23 13:07:59 ldap-vm4 remote(pam_unix)[3885]: authentication failure; logname= uid=0
euid=0 tty=pts/2 ruser= rhost=192.168.100.176 

Feb 23 13:07:59 ldap-vm4 remote(pam_unix)[3885]: could not identify user (from
getpwnam(mvheukelom)) 

Feb 23 13:07:59 ldap-vm4 login[3885]: User not known to the underlying authentication
module 

On my ldap server the file /opt/fedora-ds/slapd/logs/access

[28/Feb/2007:11:27:49 +0100] conn=250 op=0 BIND dn="dc=example,dc=com"

[28/Feb/2007:11:27:51 +0100] conn=251 op=1 fd=67 closed - U1


my ldap.conf on my client:

host 192.168.100.119

base dc=Example,dc=com

rootbinddn dc=example,dc=com

In authconfig i've made the changes to: use ladap and user ldap authentication.
I've also filled in my server (IP-number) and my base. 

Can someone advise me what to check please....
