ldap-ux with 2003r2 (problem with proxy user)

[Richard I Curtis]

Hi,
I have been following the step by step guide in LDAP-UX Client services administrator guide, but I am having some problems...

I have AD configured, and have now created a proxy user:
CN=unixprxy,CN=uxusers,DC=mydomain,DC=com
I have delegated the read access to uid, gid etc (as described), and have added the user to the "Pre Windows 2000 compatible" group.

When I run setup, after choosing "Simple Auth", I choose enter "CN=uxusers,DC=mydomain,DC=com".
Finally, when asked for Proxy User DN, I am entering "CN=unixprxy,CN=uxusers,DC=mydomain,DC=com" followed by the AD password for the unixprxy user.
I keeps failing with "Unknown error (-14)". I have tried reentering the details with ldap_proxy_config -i, but it still fails.

Is there anything obvious I have missed here?

Forgot to mention, if I use "CN=Administrator,CN=Users,DC=mydomain,DC=com", then put in the Adminsitrators" password - it works OK...

Obviously that is not ideal as we don't want the Domain admin to be the proxy user! I am guessing it is something missing from the permissions for the proxy user

I have solved this myself now so for future reference, the problem was I was putting in the wrong CN.. when I used ADSI editor, I realised the way AD had it stored did not match what I was putting in.

All OK now...I didnt appreciate how useful ADSI is when it comes to schema naming.
