Hi NOKSY Sorry to being late at your answer. I've been doing this server for about a 2 years and it's just no a normal issue setting up this server. About this error I could say that you' re missing some part of the tutorial, as I've done this server again perfectly 2 days ago. Try to read all the tutorial first, then you proceed to install it. It's very confuse, but at the end you will discover its a very functional tool that saves a lot of time.
Hi Álvaro,
for security reasons I configured the system that it is only accessible from the local network.
If you want to access the MMC from outside, you have to modify the settings for the https vhost (step 16.3.2). Change "Allow from 192.168.0.0/24" to "Allow from all". Afterwards restart the webserver (/etc/init.d/apache2 restart). Additionally you have to adjust the firewall settings that port 443 will be forwarded to the MDS.
Best regards,
Olli
Just passing by to say that tool is fantastic!!!! I've good things coming up here; think to the possibility to come to Brazil and make like a partnership program with us.....We'll work with a lot of big companies and I think to implement this tool.....Acctually I've been asked about this tool, and its great the fact we could make a very powerfull server with a lot of resources, using low hardware and high space.......Well, anyway I would like to say that you're invite come to Brazil anytime.......
My Best regards,
Thanks for this solution Oliver,
This help me a lot..........Feel free if you need anything (like test some solution, whatever) to contact me anytime
My best regards,

Hi o.meyer,
I've got some questions about your installation, but I know it that is me the wrong part, but let me understand something: When I just finish to update the system, and step over to install LDAP, after the install I've got some error messages at the boot time. Is it normal? It says ldap://127.0.0.1 - could not connect - Invalid Credentials .
Wich file do I have deal to stop this problem? Can I set my ip address to 192.168.1.0 instead of 127.0.0.1?
Another question is: Where I find "server1.example.com", I've tried to change the names using my account on dyndns.org . Is there any problems?
And the file that controls SAMBA and LDAP servers (smb.conf) says at the first line: workgroup = DYNDNS. Can I use that way??
Regards,
Alvaro Gomes
(Ps.: Your article is a great and fantastic tool that helps a lot o people over the world, when the subject is Technology of servers. Thanks again for the article, it was great)
Hi Alvaro Gomes,
1.) Yes, the error messages are normal - it's an old udev-bug known since 2006 or earlier. Simply ignore it.
2.) You can change your hostname to whatever you want (in a LAN) :) Have a look at step 1.2 .
3.) Edit the workgroup as you like - but keep in mind that you have to replace some commands in this howto, that they fit to your workgroup.
Best regards,
Olli
Thanks for your answer, and again I did raise another question about this system, please don't take me on the wrong way, what I just trying to do is get this solution (for me specially) on the framework, so this way we could install this solution in big scale (production)
Well, about the management of the LDAP Server based on Mandriva directory server, I wish I could have the management out of the site, so this way we can control everything (remote management). I did open the port on the firewall side (smoothwall, port 443) but I'm still stucked c'ause when I try to access it I've got the message: Forbidden. I tried to review the configuration, but nothing yet...Could you help me on this issue:? Thanks again
Best regards,
Álvaro Gomes
Hi Oliver, how's everything?
I 've got taked a look at my memory status and its seems that processing jobs be a little bit up, is that normal? I 've got a 3.0 GB virtualized memory and its seems to be anormal, and please if you have a suggestion please show me A.S.A.P. Thanks...
It seems to have some kind of error at the end of this installation. Before, I've finished everything just fine, but in about 2 days ago, I didn't get my server done in any way I tried. Its seems to be a error on the Samba Schema or something. I wish I had that log to show you.....if you notice something, please let me know, ok?
Thanks a lot
Could you take a look at this output from my server and tell me what could be wrong?? This output came from the last step of MDS Server Setup, and its killing me !! Thanks man, I'll really appreciate your help on this....
PS: I've tried to send you a PM, but it says that I don't have 3 counts on my posts, I really didn't get that, but, whatever, you should ignore this comment and just send me a answer by mail, thanks!

Hi all,
I'm following this "Howto" step by step, but when i enter this command :
chown -R :"Domain Users" /home/samba/
I have this error message : chown : ':Domain Users' : Invalid group
Do you have an idea please ?
Thanks
Try this
chown -R "Domain Users" /home/samba/
debian lenny
I can't authenticate any mail user
telnet x.x.x.x 110
USER user
PASS pass
-ERR Authentication Failed
My dovecot-ldap.conf
hosts = x.x.x.x
auth_bind = yes
#auth_bind = no
ldap_version = 3
base = dc=test,dc=local
scope = subtree
user_attrs = homeDirectory=home,uidNumber=uid,mailbox=mail,mailuserquota=quota=maildir:storage
user_filter = (&(objectClass=mailAccount)(mail=%u)(mailenable=OK))
pass_attrs = mail=user,userPassword=password
pass_filter = (&(objectClass=mailAccount)(mail=%u)(mailenable=OK))
default_pass_scheme = CRYPT
user_global_gid = mail
Any ideas? :)
Thx
Hi Oliver,
Sorry to botther you putting this comment asking for help, but since Dovecot had a upgraded version, the last line at /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf that says "user_global_gid=mail" its not longer usefull, as I've trying to put dovecot to run and I receive this message (at log file): Error: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf line 11: Unknown setting: user_global_gid.
Do you have any ideas about this problem? If is there any help you could give me on this problem, I'd be appreciated...
Also, when I try to connect using the Microsoft outlook client mail, its just not working either...I know its because dovecot its not runnig, but since I commented in the line "user_global_gid=mail" and get dovecot running again, the service still not working......
