Failure to lookup LDAP

[mailliwal]

Hi,

I can connect LDAP with "admin" with failure to looj-up & test user credential.

cn: cn=lldap_strict_readonly,ou=groups,dc=test,dc=home

login: cn=admin,ou=people,dc=test,dc=home

May I know CN is incorrect or other issue ?

Thanks

Hi! How are you connecting? On the web UI? Then the login would just be "admin". With an LDAP client? Then the "cn=admin,..." (or better: "uid=admin,...") is correct

Account could be looked-up with below configuration.

• CN = uid
• DN = dc=example,dc=com
• username = cn=admin,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com

If changed DN to dc=lldap_strict_readonly,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com

Then authentication failure.

May I know it's correct ?

THANKS

You can't log in as a group (lldap_strict_readonly), only as a user.

How are you connecting? Are you using a service that has an LDAP backend? Are you using ldapsearch? Can you provide more details? I.e. the specific command that was run to get the failure, or the entire service configuration and/or LLDAP configuration.

You can also head to Discord if you want where we can talk about it more dynamically.
