Re: [webmin-l] ldap client: cannot find ldap users

[Jonathan R. <jre...@gm...>]

users are being mapped using nss_ldap in ldap.conf with:
nss_map_objectclass posixAccount user
so the linux system operates fine with that directive. Though if I
understand you right, the perl module doesnt do mapping like this?

Do the objects in your LDAP database have the posixAccount object class?

No. This unfortunately is Active Directory. I had already extended the
schema prior to this, and I suppose the adding of this object class gets
left out. Even adding posixAccount with ldifde has posed some difficulties
today.
