Public bug reported: Hi there,
ldapscripts by default tries to use /etc/ldap.secret generated by libnss-ldap, but it fails because it contains a trailing new line. This is the error found in /var/log/ldapscripts.log: ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49) That's because /etc/ldap.secret is created by libnss-ldap with a trailing new line, which is not compatible with ldapadd. I can think of 3 possible solutions: 1) strip that new line in /usr/share/ldapscripts/runtime.debian 2) change the libnss-ldap package to save the password in /etc/ldap.secret without the new line 3) drop the support for this feature, so don't even try to use /etc/ldap.secret and update /usr/share/ldapscripts/runtime.debian, /etc/ldapscripts/ldapscripts.conf and the documentation accordingly Imho removing this feature (solution 3) would be a bit of a shame as it almost works. Thanks, Giacomo ** Affects: ldapscripts (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1090328 Title: ldapscripts doesn't use /etc/ldap.secret correctly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ldapscripts/+bug/1090328/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
