I am interested in making users give a name and a password in order to use the LDAP server.
I have looked through a couple of LDAP and slapd how-to's and I cant figure out how to "turn on" this password protection.
Anyone done this?
-
it seems that in /etc/openldap/slapd.conf is where I would do this.
Of course I would alter that through the template in /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/openldap/slapd.conf/template-begin
the problem now is that when I put access control example into that file, the server just rejects everyone. the example lines are:
access to *
by dn=".+" read
by * none
now I am not sure if the problem is that it is not looking to the /etc/passwd for the names and passwords that allow people to query the LDAP server
OR
if something is wrong with that line such as the "by * none" being the last rule, it just rejects everything.
