Hi!
I'm running out of search terms and ideas how to solve this: I'm trying
to create an addressbook in LDAP to be able to ditch CardDAV. So far, it
is working, i.e. I can search and access a dummy user via "Directory
Utility.app".
But as soon as I try to use "Contacts.app" and iOS, I'm confronted with
problems:
o Contacts.app doesn't seem to send the entered password, whereas
Directory Utility.app is authenticating properly.
I can provide necessary debug logs via ldapd -dvv, if necessary. I'm
contemplating about filing a bug report via apple.com, since openldap,
provided via base macOS is working fine.
Google yields some results, that I'm not the first to stumble upon
this...
o iOS seems to try to authenticate via SASL/PLAIN, as far as I can
observe via the debug log. Since the default behaviour seems to be to
"authenticate users via simple binds", it fails. I can also provide a
log, if necessary.
Now my questions: are there users out there that have a similiar setup,
especially with {i,mac}OS?
If yes: I'd be happy about config snippets...
If no: how can I achieve SASL/PLAIN authentication with ldapd(8)?
The manpage is not exactly informative about this - or it's just me,
since I'm tired and feeling dizzy from all this "LDAP'ing".
Best wishes.
