Hello,

I have installed the latest pwm. Everything is working correctly;however, stuck authenticating users. Currently, the LDAP contextless login is :

CN=pwm pwm,CN=Users,DC=XXX,DC=XXX.

This works....but only working for users who are in the domain.com > Users (CN=Users,DC=xxx,DC=xxx). The problem is that we don't have any users there, instead this is how our Active Directory is organized as:

domain.com
builtin
.....etc
+Offices
-Atlanta
-New York
-Harrisburg
...etc
Uers

What would be the best way authenticating all users in the active directory regardless of which OU they belong to?

---------
Also, I randomly get the following error:

Unexpected error while testing ldap test user: [LDAP: error code 53 - 0000052D: SvcErr: DSID-031A11E5, problem 5003 (WILL_NOT_PERFORM), data 0 ]

---------

Any help is appreciated, thank you.

I would expect your contextless login to be DC=domain,DC=com
Now, you could do ou=Offices,DC=domain,DC=com but that would exclude any in the CN=users,DC=domain,DC=com

I would have to see the PWM log to get an idea of what the "Will not perform" error is. Someone else might know.

So after playing around with different contextless login roots, I am unable to login at all. Oddly, only the LDAP Contextless Login Root is able to login and all other users are not where I get the following error:

The username or password is not valid. Please try again. { 5001 ERROR_WRONGPASSWORD (an ldap user for username value 'mmiah_admin' was not found) }

and my Contextless root is :

CN=pwmFX pwmFX,OU=fxHQ,OU=Offices,DC=xxx,DC=com

using the above root, only the user pwmFX is able to login and all other accounts on that OU are not able to.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

First read a book about trees and understand the difference between a root and a leaf ;-)

Then set the contextless login ROOT to OU=Offices,DC=xxx,DC=com or perhaps OU=fxHQ,OU=Offices,DC=xxx,DC=com.

"CN=pwmFX pwmFX,OU=fxHQ,OU=Offices,DC=xxx,DC=com" is a leaf

Have fun,

Menno

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback. Got it working right after I post my last message. Your post basically sums up what needs to be done.

Regarding the error Unexpected error "while testing ldap test user: [LDAP: error code 53 - 0000052D: SvcErr: DSID-031A11E5, problem 5003 (WILL_NOT_PERFORM), data 0 ]" This was due to insufficient password policy. I had set it to LDAP, hoping it would read the policy from the AD server. That didn't seem to work. Instead I set it to Local and then set the policy to reflect the GPO on the AD server, and the error went away.

Cheers!
