Hi Folks, After a lot of blood, sweat, and tears, I have finally managed to get LDAP to work but when getting SASL/GSSAPI to work, there *seems* to be a problem with getting this to work properly with the /etc/init.d/ldap script. As I reported eariler in a thread, that there was a missing '$' for the klist execution and I am beginning to wonder that whomever did the script - may have also broken it for kerberos or specifically for the KRB5_KTNAME when specifying a keytab other than the default at /etc/krb5.keytab. Since for LDAP, I am using a different keytab at /etc/openldap/ldap.keytab, I have added the KRB5_KTNAME variable to the /etc/sysconfig/ldap file, which to note, does not exists as a default file, which is not a big deal. I did check to see if the KRB5_KTNAME variable was slurped into the /etc/init.d/ldap script and so far it appears to be there all the way through to the exec command - so I cannot see why the exec in the script does not allow ldap/SASL to work the same manner that I run manually from the command line as root user, which works. Can anyone tell me what might be going on in the off-chance that I am doing something wrong? :-) Thanks! Dan -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
