[Pki-users] Invalid Credential / User not found

Mon Apr 28 22:58:40 UTC 2008

DogTag support,

By enabling the Linux LDAP authentication option, I was successful
eliminating the "Invalid Credential" error message when starting the
"DogTag" WEB Agent.

My question is now, how do I "enable" the LDAP authentication option when
executing the WEB Agent via a FireFox browser that executes on a windows-XP
perform?

I have found some Internet sites that mention a "LDAP plug-in" -- is such
module available for FireFox/windows so I can execute the "DogTag" WEB Agent
from windows??

Ebbe:

You can leave your current directory instance. When you re-do the config 
wizard, you will just have to give unique names for the new directory 
trees it will have to create. Removing instances is a great idea for us 
to work on.

thanks,
jack
