zimbra authentication with fedora directory server

[veronica]

> but i cant able to log in as kbabu@fedora.example.com(this user i created in FDS)

Is this user also created on zimbra server ? Thsi user must exist on zimbra as well and you need to pass credentials of FDS server for logging in.

yep..i created the same user in zimbra as kbabu@fedora.example.com

wen im trying to login it shows a mess
"user doesnot have administrator rights"

You will not be able to login to admin console with normal user w/o priviledge. Remember Admin user is never set for external authentication so logging to admin user doesn't mean your external authentication is working fine. You need to test normal user login on webmail with password of AD server

with kbabu@fedora.example.com i can able to login in zimbra colloboration suite.

but there is a prob.
for the user kbabu@fedora.example.com i created one password in FDS
and in zimbra server i created the same user as kbabu@fedora.example.com with same passwd.

now with this username i can able to log in to zimbra colloboration suite.

when i change the passwd in zimbra server for the user kbabu@fedora.example.com

i cant able to log in to zimbra colloboration suite.

pls help me.

Which means external auth not working.

In auth section :-

zimbraAuthLdapSearchBase: dc=example,dc=com
does it not contain dc=fedora,dc=example,dc=com ?

[bkarthick4u]

my zimbraAuthLdapSearchBase is " dc=example,dc=com "

[veronica]

can it be set to dc=fedora,dc=example,dc=com?

You must create users on the Zimbra server for them to be able to login, your FDS is only for authentication.
