slapd solaris 9

I'm having issues setting up ldap. I'm going to state the obvious in that I have very little knowledge of the subject to begin with. Any help would be extremely, extremely appreciated...

I have a Solaris 9 server that I'm trying to configure as a Directory Server. I haven't attached any other servers to it yet, I added ldap to nsswitch as well as the ldap mods to pam.conf. I also added one group containing one user to the db. I'm trying to authenticate to the directory server itself using that user id and I'm getting the following errors...

Sep 1 16:00:03 ara nscd[3802]: [ID 293258 user.error] libsldap: Status: 7 Mesg: Session error no available conn.

Sep 1 16:00:18 ara nscd[3802]: [ID 293258 user.error] libsldap: Status: 32 Mesg: openConnection: simple bind failed - No such object

Any help or even a good point in the right direction would be very appreciated.

Thanks!!

You will need at least wo solaris (8/9/10) boxes to do LDAP authentication.

The first one you will install SUN ONE Directory Server, and run "idsconfig" and ..., there is no need to alter /etc/nsswitch.conf on this box

The second one is the LDAP Client and is where you will run "ldapclient init" or "ldapclient manual", either command will modify SOME of the necessary config files including /etc/nsswitch.conf, it does not modify /etc/pam.conf which is needed for pam_ldap.

There are actually many steps involved, you may find the following guides useful or not at all.
