</span>When you install LDAP
2006-07-09 14:14:57 +00:00
Account Manager the password for the default profile and the master
password are "lam".<br>

<span style="font-weight: bold;"><a name="2"></a>I get strange errors (e.g. object class violation/invalid syntax) when saving accounts.</span><br>
<br>
Probably, your LDAP server does not offer the required LDAP object classes and attributes.<br>
To check the LDAP schema open Tools -&gt; Tests -&gt; Schema test and check if any errors are reported.<br>
<br>
See <span style="font-style: italic;">docs/README.schema.txt</span> for the required schema files.<br>

2007-12-29 15:51:39 +00:00
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br>
</span>LDAP Account Manager
2006-07-09 14:14:57 +00:00
searches for "(attribute=&lt;filter field&gt;)".<br>
<br>
You can do simple filtering like: a*, *nix, groupname<br>
<br>
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.<br>

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.<br>
