Actually I fixed it by using auth-client-config -a -p ldap_example
and thus using Ubuntu's provided ldap pam-configuration and *not* the one used in that big often-followed tutorial[1]. Sorry for the noise. Although I don't know the difference, why the provided ldap_example works and the one in the tutorial doesn't. 1. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=640760 -- Can't contact LDAP server https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/222003 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
