regarding Authentication
we have setup new LDAP servers and the DIT in this looks in this way..
under the main root ,dc=company,dc=com, we have separate OU's for Associates,contractors, and vendors(we have some vendors from our partners).
The other day we were trying to setup an application to authenticate against this newly built LDAP.. For this..in the setting page of the Application, when the base DN for the authentication was set as
dc=company,dc=com...(its a Basic authentication scheme).....
and we try to authenticate ,we got the result "No such object found"
BUt when i changes the base DN for the search to "ou=contractors,dc=company,dc=com" .(As the tested user was in ou=contractors in the New LDAP)...The authentication was successful.
The thing am not getting is "why is the first attempt of Authentication was an Unsuccessful...because the search should stil be able to find the user entry under the base DN.dc=company,dc=com...?
we dont have any OU=people( As this is suggested in the DOCS ) under which generally all the users are kept..SUggestiong would be greatly helpful...
Regards
