Q: I want to change the preferences but I do not know the password.
A: When you install LDAP Account Manager the password for the default profile and the master password are "lam".

Q: Where can I find PHP4 packages with mcrypt/mhash for Suse/RedHat?
A: Either you compile PHP4 yourself or you install some unofficial packages.

You can find unofficial packages here:

Red Hat: The Horde project provides some packages on: http://ftp.horde.org/pub/RPMS
Suse: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/poeml/mod_php4

Q: What is the syntax of the filter fields in the account lists?
A: 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.

Q: LDAP + SSL does not work.
A: 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.

Q: I found a bug. Where can I report it?
A: 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.
