Suse LDAP authentication in Active Directory Problem

English Network/Internet
#1

Hello,

I am trying to set up a network with a Windows 2008 Server, using AD, I’m trying to authenticate in Suse with a Windows username, and I get this error,

Apr 1 17:05:12 Susy sshd[6329]: nss_ldap: failed to bind to LDAP server ldap://10.154.59.51: Invalid credentials
Apr 1 17:05:12 Susy sshd[6329]: nss_ldap: failed to bind to LDAP server ldap://windowsad-dc.windows-ad.testes.loc/: Invalid credentials

But, according to Windows Security Events Viewer,the Suse box doesn’t even try to login, there is record of nothing.

Can you help me?

Thankyou.

I should add that I’m reading the error from the log files and it appears as soon as I insert the username, it doesn’t get to ask for the password.

Thanks.

Hi,

Are the ldap ports available to a telnet session ?

ie: telnet “windows2008serverip” 389

Is the Win 2k8 firewall configured to allow the ldap traffic ? (command above should prove this)

Are physical network comms ok ?

From the win2k8 box can you issue the command:

telnet localhost 389 ? does it respond with a connection ?

Hello,

figured how to solve it, for it to work I have to have the user created both in the Windows AD and in Linux, I gave each a different password and I’m logging in with the Windows password, so I know it is getting information from the AD, but it takes forever to log in, maybe 5 minutes, and this error keeps popping up,

Any idea what is going on???

Thankyou!
