how did you create dthis user bobsmith and set his password. I would create a system user and then migrate it to Ldap if you are a beginer. did you hash the password if you did what did you use I would create user on linux in /etc/passwd and migrate it into ldap and use authentication. what kind of authenticatio you are using TLS or pam or krebros ? There is whole bunch of questions to ask --- Yossef Korang <yossef@yossefk.com> wrote:Ok, I create a test user, called bobsmith, and set the password in LDAP. Now when I try to log in with bobsmith, it tells me password incorrect(Using a cleartext password). When I issue passwd, it asks for password, I put it in(it accepts it) and then asks for the new password. I make a new password for the test user this way, and when I try to log in with him, I still can't. Any suggestions on what is going wrong would be greatly appreciated.
