Hi All,
While trying to setup login_ldap, i stumbled on a somewhat misleading
phrase in the manpage:
x-ldap-binddn DN used by login_ldap to bind to the ldap server.
Can be "" (NULL) for anonymous bind.
x-ldap-bindpw Password used by login_ldap to bind to the ldap server.
Can be "" (NULL) for anonymous bind.
This seems to suggest that you can put
:x-ldap-binddn="":\
into your /etc/login.conf if you want to bind anonymously. This does not
work and login is rejected without a proper debug message.
The entry *must* read:
:x-ldap-binddn=:\
(without quotes)
Since this took me a few hours of debugging, i thought i should let you
all know.
