[Fedora-directory-users] ssh login fail

[Steven Jones]

I am getting things like this, but I did not enter them, so these are
some sort of defaults?

8><--------
# PD Managers, groups, vuw.ac.nz
dn: cn=PD Managers,ou=groups,dc=vuw,dc=ac,dc=nz
objectClass: top
objectClass: groupOfUniqueNames
cn: PD Managers
ou: groups
description: People who can manage engineer entries

Yet I cannot find then under the FDS gui....

There you go,

Looks like it is not in the right place in FDS....or it is but LDAP is
looking in the wrong place...

root at vuwunicvfwall02 openldap]# ldapsearch -x -D
"uid=jonesst1,ou=People,dc=vuw,dc=ac,dc=nz" -w xxxxx -s base -b ""
ldap_bind: No such object (32)
        matched DN: ou=people,dc=vuw,dc=ac,dc=nz
[root at vuwunicvfwall02 openldap]# ldapsearch -x -D
"uid=jonesst1,dc=vuw,dc=ac,dc=nz" -w xxxxx -s base -b ""
ldap_bind: No such object (32)
        matched DN: dc=vuw,dc=ac,dc=nz

ho hum....

I hope not.  It really should do an LDAP BIND operation, which means it 
sends the clear text password to the server in the BIND request (for 
simple username/password auth).

So, try
ldapsearch -x -D "uid=someuser,ou=People,dc=vuw,dc=ac,dc=nz" -w 
thepasssword -s base -b ""
That will test to see if that user exists and that the password is
correct.

looking in the wrong place would be my guess, based on the err=32 in the

previous logs you posted.
