I want to change the preferences but I do not know the password.
When you install LDAP Account Manager the password for the default profile and the master password are "lam".
I get strange errors (e.g. object class violation/invalid syntax) when saving accounts.
Probably, your LDAP server does not offer the required LDAP object classes and attributes.
To check the LDAP schema open Tools -> Tests -> Schema test and check if any errors are reported.
See docs/README.schema.txt for the required schema files.
What is the syntax of the filter fields in the account lists?
LDAP Account Manager searches for "(attribute=<filter field>)".
You can do simple filtering like: a*, *nix, groupname
There are several limitations: If you only enter "*", LDAP will return all accounts with the attribute set. Numeric fields cannot use the "*", only exact matchings are possible.
LDAP + SSL does not work.
PHP uses the LDAP settings in /etc/ldap.conf (you will have to create this file on some distributions).
Use the "LDAPTLS_CACERT" setting to specify your CA certificate.
I found a bug. Where can I report it?
Please use the Bug Tracker at our Sourceforge homepage or subscribe to our public mailinglist.
If the problem is related to LDAP, please add some logging information. In /etc/ldap/slapd.conf turn logging on with the line "loglevel 256". OpenLDAP uses /var/log/syslog for log output.
