This is probably trivial but I can't figure it out:
my OpenLDAP entry has an attribute of cn=My Name, an attribute of uid=myname and a password.
I can successfully log in using JXplorer using
cn=My Name,ou=people,o=my company
but not using
uid=myname,ou=people,o=my company (error code 49 - Invalid Credentials)
However searching with that dn is successful and returns 1 entry, so the uid attribute is in fact there.
You have to simply use the DN of an existing entry within a simple bind request. So if your entry looks like
dn: cn=My Name,ou=people,o=my company objectClass: inetOrgPerson cn: My Name uid: myname
you have to use cn=My Name,ou=people,o=my company as bind-DN. Most LDAP-enabled software which checks username/password with a simple bind request first searches for the entry with filter (uid=username) and then uses the DN of the entry found as bind-DN.
