[Fedora-directory-users] Winsync woes

[Dimitri Yioulos]

Hello to all.

I recently installed FDS on a CentOS 3 box.  My network authenticates to a 
win2k3 AD box.  I'd like to use the Winsync feature of FDS to keep it 
automatically updated.

Firstly, FDS does work, to the extent that I populated ou=People, and can see 
and use those entries in Kmail.  I've followed the Admin manual regarding 
installation and configuration of Winsync on both the FDS and AD boxes, but  
I can't get it to work.  I receive an error "81- LDAP error: can't contact 
LDAP server".  By now, it's entirely probable that I've munged up the 
configuration, having tried so many tweaks.

I'm really not sure where to begin in terms of providing info to you so that 
you can help me out.  With your kind indulgence, it might be better for you 
to ask me questions about my setup, and we can go from there (I realize 
that's a bassackwards way to ask for help, but ...).

Here, at least, are some basics:  I obtained server and CA certs from 
CACert.org, and plugged those into FDS.  I created the user Admin on both the 
FDS and ADS boxes.  I created a Replica Agreement. I ran the Winsync utility 
on the ADS box. I'm trying to use port 636.

I do have a couple of questions:  what's the proper way to specify a Supplier 
DN, and should I use "SSL client authentication" or simple authentication" in 
the Replica Agreement?

Many thanks.

Dimitri
