Hi everyone, I'm new to the ldap stuff, therefore sorry if this is a silly question. My openldap (slapd) version is 2.4.28. To manage openldap I'm using phpldapadmin. I'm using a third party software which relies on ldap to manage users. I've added a test user to ldap via phpldapadmin. The 3rd party software tries to modify/add an object via the following bind: slapd[19030]: conn=1435 fd=18 ACCEPT from IP=X.X.X.X:35541 (IP=0.0.0.0:389) slapd[19030]: conn=1435 op=0 BIND dn="cn=admin,dc=dmp,dc=..." method=128 slapd[19030]: conn=1435 op=0 BIND dn="cn=admin,dc=dmp,dc=..." mech=SIMPLE ssf=0 slapd[19030]: conn=1435 op=0 RESULT tag=97 err=0 text= slapd[19030]: conn=1435 op=1 MOD dn="uid=test1003,ou=users,dc=dmp,dc=..." slapd[19030]: conn=1435 op=1 MOD attr=objectclass slapd[19030]: conn=1435 op=1 RESULT tag=103 err=32 text= slapd[19030]: conn=1435 fd=18 closed (connection lost) This fails because it tries to accomplish this by using dn="uid=...", but as shown in phpldapadmin the dn is cn=Test Testuser,ou=users,dc=dmp,dc=... Therefore the distinguished name for dn="uid=...,ou=users,dc=dmp,dc=..." doesn't exist (the user has a uid of course). Therefore my question is, is there a possibility to change / to configure openldap to use / allow the uid instead of the cn? Or did I something wrong? So far I couldn't find any information about this. Any help is welcome and I would really appreciate this :) Best regards and have a nice weekend! Dennis Wehrle
