My apologies - I put the wrong bind example in. Attempting to bind as

Yes, because the DN of the entry is uid=RSmith,ou=People,
dc=fedora,dc=test,dc=com not
ntUserDomainId=smithr,ou=People,dc=fedora,dc=test,dc=com
Richard, regarding the alternative search filter, is it possible to
perform a search where you match against a password?
What exactly are you trying to do? When you perform an LDAP BIND
operation, you pass the credentials (i.e. the password) to the directory
server, and it does the password comparison. LDAP BIND using other
mechanism (SASL, TLS) allow you to pass credentials other than
passwords. The client should never attempt to read the password from
the directory server and do the password comparison itself.
I'm using this to currently perform a silent login after having binded
(is that a word?) was the directory admin.
SRCH base="ou=People,dc=fedora,dc=test,dc=com" scope=2
filter="(&(objectClass=*)(ntUserDomainId=SmithR))"
attrs="memberOf"
You don't need (objectclass=*) - it is redundant in this context. You
can just use filter="(ntUserDomainId=SmithR)"
Fedora DS does not support the memberOf attribute - you would have to
add additional schema to support it.
I imagine it would be fairly easy to extract the password too. Do you
think so? Would I use the userPassword field for this? Do you think
that this is what most directories will store the user's password in?
Many thanks again
Rich

I don't think this will work either. The DN for the entry is
uid=RSmith,ou=People, dc=fedora,dc=test,dc=com - If you want to
bind as
this same user but with a different DN, you will have to rename the
entry to use ntUserDomainId=smithr as the RDN instead of
uid=RSmith. If
AD allows you to request an entry by DN other than the actual DN
of the
entry, then it is non-standard LDAP behavior.
Of course, if your client program allows it (like PAM), you can use a
different search filter to look up your entry. I think PAM by
default
uses (uid=%s) where %s is filled in with your login name. I
suppose you
could change it to (ntUserDomainId=%s), then you should be able to use
your existing entry for PAM login without having to rename
it. However,
if your client application expects ntUserDomainId=foo in the DN, then
you have no choice but to rename your entry.
