Description Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-04-22 07:08:21 UTC 
The LDAP client configuration needs /etc/openldap/ldap.conf as well as /etc/ldap.conf. /etc/openldap/ldap.conf can simply be copied over from the server, but it's gotta be there.
Comment 1 Shyam Mani (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-04-22 07:19:32 UTC 
If its is not there, would LDAP auth fail/not work? Because no matter what I try, I can't seem to get LDAP auth working on Gentoo.
Comment 2 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-04-22 07:28:49 UTC 
That is correct. At least using the setup in this guide, it's definitely needed.
Comment 3 Shyam Mani (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-04-22 07:31:02 UTC 
Alright. Will check this out on Monday first thing.
Comment 4 Shyam Mani (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-04-25 03:12:43 UTC 
I can't seem to make LDAP work even with the file in place. Dang.
Comment 5 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-10 11:32:46 UTC 
The bug is valid; /etc/openldap/ldap.conf is the configuration for the LDAP
environment, client and server. /etc/ldap.conf is for nss_ldap/pam_ldap.

Fixed in CVS now.
