Jon, I hope I am not stating the obvious to you but I think that you need Universal Password turned on (as part of the NDBS package) to be able to use clear-text passwords with the Novell LDAP server. I can't confirm because my Novell Eng isn't around, but we went through a similar rigmarole. This link has some info for configuring LDAP for eDirectory 8.6 (including clear-text passwords) http://www.novell.com/documentation/ndsedir86/index.html?page=/documentation /ndsedir86/taoenu/data/a5bwtyl.html
I haven't implemented FreeRdaius yet so I can't help there, but when you do get it going I would would like to hear about it ;-) Peter -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alan DeKok Sent: Thursday, 9 September 2004 5:49 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Wireless authentication via LDAP and PEAP "Jon Stahler" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Since version 6 of Netware, Novell has an LDAP server running on the > Netware OS that stays sync'd with eDirectory. <sigh> I'm not familiar with their implementation. You went back and forth in terminology between LDAP & eDirectory, and talked about them like they were identical. I'm sorry I assumed eDirectory was an LDAP server. > This LDAP server is what I am attempting to authenticate against, > not the eDirectory itself. No, you don't want to do that. Please READ my messages. For the third time, LDAP stores passwords. It doesn't do authentication. FreeRADIUS does authentication. It doesn't store passwords. If you have clear-text passwords configured in your LDAP database for a user, then the server WILL WORK. Please try it. Alan DeKok. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
