Hi,
     I was a little confused about radiusd.conf settings for ldap authentication. These are a few doubts i have ...
 
     1)  Is there any specific filter entry to authenticate posixAccount users?
          The default is filter = "(uid=%{Stripped-User-Name:-%{User-Name}})" , will this work for posixAccount /
          shadowAccount users?
 
     2) Do i need to comment the password_attribute = "userPassword" entry for successful bind to the ldap server?
 
     3) Why does the entry : base_filter = "(objectclass=radiusprofile)" gets set when radiusd runs even though i comment it
          in the radiusd.conf file? Is the base filter entry required for ldap authentication? If yes, is the above default entry correct?
 
       I've tried rlm_ldap authentication but failed till now,i get the error message during authentication.
       

         rlm_ldap: Bind failed with invalid credentials

 

       However,bind is successful during authorization but fails during authentication... any ideas?
