LDAP Authentication

[jdrob]

I'm trying to setup LDAP authentication for EtherneTV but unfortunately, the userid we are trying to use is not part of our LDAP DN (IPlanet running on SunOS).  I tried a number of different configuration options, but none of them seem to work.

This is how our LDAP is setup right now:  Base DN: o=something, ou=something then under that we have baseid=something and under that userid=something along with a bunch of ther attributes.

I can get it to work with baseid, but not userid.  Some other applications I know off use bind/search-for-dn using userid/bind-with-dn to get around this problem.  Any suggestions (other than changing LDAP schema)?

VBrick supports Active Directory and e-directory from Novell for LDAP servers.  It would appear that you are perhaps attempting to authenicate using a different LDAP directory?  Can you give more details?

We are using IPlanet running on SunOS, however, I do not believe this problem has much to do with that.  Simply put, the LDAP schema we have is somewhat messed up.  We have a database key as part of our DN but the app is apparently trying to bind with the user id.  I can configure VBrick to work with the key only.  Is there a way to do an anonymous bind and then search for uid attribute and then bind again with that and the password?
