Hi,<br><br>    I am using openldap-2.4.19-4.x86_64 on fedora 12 machine. On client node, in /etc/ldap.conf file, we specify binddn and bindpw. If not specified, the request will be anonymous. I have on each client machine more than 500 users. I want to send the request to server as an authenticated user but users are 500+. Then, how do I specify this in binddn and bindpw. I don&#39;t want to specify &#39;root&#39; (admin) in binddn and bindpw. I have rootbinddn as root&#39;s dn and his password in /etc/ldap.secret (mode 600).<br>
<br>    As earlier said, anonymous request is creating &#39;I have no name!&#39; problem while doing $ssh &lt;user&gt;@client, since I have given anonymous user auth access. If I specify anonymous read access, &#39;I have no name!&#39; problem disappears but security is getting compromised. I think there is no problem with nscd daemon, since it is stopped or even I uninstalled that, the problem still persists.<br>
