Ok, i found out what it is, really dumb mistake, there are three slashes in the address (ldap:///192.168.1.107:389/). This can confuze most people, since when you are asked to put in the address of the ldap server, three are three slashes ("ldapi:///")
AFAIR in some modern versions of software like pam_ldap, libnss-ldap, etc, (at least in debian) one must use literal combinations like
ldapi://%2Fsome%2Fwhere%2Fsocketfile

I have set up 2 servers, a web server and a database server. The database server has mysql and OpenLDAP (configured, with 1 Posix user). The web server has apache, php, etc. I want to connect with the web server to the database server with PAM (libpam-ldap) and use creditentials from the database server for user logins. I have set up libpam-ldap, but the authentecation doesnt work. Further investegation (/var/log/auth.log ) shows that the teh web server cant contact the database server. However, i also ha ve phpLDAPadmin installed aon the web server, and i can connect to the database server from there. Anyone know what could be wrong? Here is the auth.log:
May 11 10:57:33 web sudo: nss_ldap: could not connect to any LDAP server as cn=admin,dc=stef,dc=si - Can't contact LDAP server May 11 10:57:33 web sudo: nss_ldap: failed to bind to LDAP server ldap:/// 192.168.1.107:389/: Can't contact LDAP server May 11 10:57:33 web sudo: nss_ldap: reconnecting to LDAP server...
