LDAP Auth issue in 3.1.2 MU2

Has anyone tried configuring LDAP auth in InForm OS 3.1.2 and been successful? I am trying to setup LDAP auth on a 7200 using the same configuration we have on our v400 running 3.1.1 and it's giving me fits. I keep getting this error on the 7200 when using checkpassword.

+ authorization denied: Operations error

I have verified that the configs are identical between the two systems using the showauthparam. Any suggestions?

Ok, I figured this one out myself. If you change ldap-port to 3268 in OS 3.1.2 MU2 you can search the root of the domain but must select an OU if you use ldap-port 389. Behavior seems to have changed from OS 3.1.1 to 3.1.2 but that's what's working now.

Just thought I'd share.

Thanks for sharing. We just added a new 7200 with 3.1.2 MU1 and the same old setup notes I made from 2.2.4 still work, so perhaps its a change in MU2.

I am struggling to get LDAP authentication set up on 3.1.2. MU2. I have followed some of the posts on this forums but still have issues.

The below is the output of what my settings are. I have an AD group (3parscripts) in the "something" OU and the user account is in the same OU

I have tried domain-name-prefix with InServDomain= and !InServDomain= and made sure the description contains InServDomain=



ldap-server 10.1.x.x
ldap-ssl 0
account-obj user
allow-ssh-key 0
account-name-attr sAMAccountName
sasl-mechanism GSSAPI
accounts-dn OU=something,OU=admins,DC=company,DC=com
memberof-attr memberOf
ldap-port 389
kerberos-realm company.com
edit-map CN=3parscripts,OU=something,OU=admins,DC=company,DC=com
domain-name-attr description
binding sasl
ldap-server-hn ldap.company.com
group-obj group
domain-name-prefix InServDomain=


Any help would be appreciated.

check your kerberos realm... it is case sensitive. Mine was all caps.

We ran into the same issue with the KERBEROS realm, they are most definitely case sensitive.

Go it ti work with AD without all th Kerberos realm stuff by using simple mode.

I substituted our data with generic names, but it was as simple as the following steps to get AD authentication working to provide edit permissions to an AD account in a specific OU under another OU.

setauthparam -f ldap-server 192.168.0.1
setauthparam -f ldap-server-hn servername.aaa.com
setauthparam -f binding simple
setauthparam -f user-attr DOMAINNAME\\
setauthparam -f accounts-dn OU=yyy,OU=zzz,DC=aaa,DC=com
setauthparam -f account-obj user
setauthparam -f account-name-attr SAMAccountName
setauthparam -f memberof-attr memberOf
setauthparam edit-map CN=xxx,OU=yyy,OU=zzz,DC=aaa,DC=com
