Hi,

I am doing remote authentication using OpenLDAP to login BIGIP, BIGIP has a feature called remoterole to search attribute 'memberof' from LDAP server and once found the attribute, assign the remote user a role defined in various groups like admin, operator... the feature works for Active Directory, but I am unable to make it work for OpenLDAP, I couldn't find 'memberof' attribute in OpenLDAP schema, so I created the 'memberof' attribute in core.schema as below:

[root@centos-vli schema]# diff -u core.schema core.schema.orig --- core.schema 2011-01-24 23:54:42.000000000 -0800 +++ core.schema.orig 2011-01-24 23:46:11.000000000 -0800 @@ -345,10 +345,6 @@ DESC 'X.520(4th): pseudonym for the object' SUP name )

and here is my sample ldif file:

I can login BIGIP fine with user5, but I can't get the administrator role defined in BIGIP, is it something I configured wrong in OpenLDAP or the problem is on BIGIP

Thanks
