adressbook setings in Kontact/Kmail

[Troy Carpenter]

Following the advice in another thread, I switched my query as follows:

ldapsearch -h mail.carpenter.cx -D "uid=troy,ou=People,dc=carpenter,dc=cx"
-w xxxxxx -b "ou=People,dc=carpenter,dc=cx" objectClass=person

That query on my client PC returned all the user records as expected.
However, Kontact still isn't satisfied and gives a popup that says "invalid
authorization information, do you want to retry?".  When I click "retry",
I'm given the LDAP login screen, asking for Username and Password.  I have
tried my UID as the username with my password, as well as
"uid=troy,ou=People,dc=carpenter,dc=cx" (both with and without quotes) to no
avail.  The is site listed is ldap://mail.carpenter.cx:389, which looks
correct to me.

I also don't see an entry for the LDAP server anywhere in Kontact, nor in
any of the KDE config files, so I can't confirm exactly how the account
wizard set things up.

Getting back around to this...

Using ldapsearch on my client machine, I have two results depending on who I
use to perform the query:

This command will give me a list of every user on the system:
"ldapsearch -h mail.carpenter.cx -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w xxxxxx -b
"ou=People,dc=carpenter,dc=cx" objectClass=person"


This command gives me an error "ldap_bind: No such object (32)":
"ldapsearch -h mail.carpenter.cx -D "cn=Troy Carpenter" -w xxxxxx -b
"ou=People,dc=carpenter,dc=cx" objectClass=person"

The cn I am using in the second command comes straight out of the entry
printed from the first query.  I'm guessing there is a permission problem
somehow.  I am not an LDAP expert, so I definitely need some guidance.

Hi.

Have you tried an manual ldapsearch from your client computer to make sure
it's not a permission problem of your ldap server?
