OpenLDAP ldapsearch: Shows userPassword results hashed, but otherwise shows
the users I look up
OpenLDAP ldapsearch userPassword=secret: Success
Fedora ldapsearch: Fails to find anything
testsaslauthd -u devel -p secret: Fails to find anything, error code 32 I
think

I haven't figured out how to make saslauthd report the ldap queries, so I
know very little of what happens and the Fedora logs
don't appear to help much more.


>BTW, Fedora DS uses cyrus sasl v2.1.20.

Interesting. I have installed cyrus sasl using yum, will that be another 
installation than the
one Fedora DS uses? will it use different conf files?

I wouldn't be at all surprised if the problem is down to me configuring the 
wrong ldap+sasl combination.
