Need settings for Zimbra OpenLDAP

Need settings for Zimbra OpenLDAP for use with Openfiler

Openfiler (a NAS/SAN solution) requires a LDAP or AD to connect to.

I then proceeded to find Zimbra. All of this was coming together beautifully...until I couldn't get Openfiler to connect to Zimbra's LDAP server.

Here's the information that Openfiler wants, Could someone give me some hints as to what would allow it to connect?

Use TLS: Y/N
Server: mail.domain.com
Base DN: dc=domain, dc=com
Authenticated bind DN:
Authenticated bind password:
Root bind DN:
Root bind password:
Login SMB server to root DN: Y/N

I would have provided a screenshot but my storage server won't work without LDAP authentification of some kind

thanks!

I recently upgraded to Openfiler 2.2, which now allows for local LDAP authentication.... have you tried that?

[penguinknight]

Thanks! I actually upgraded last night in hopes of the LDAP magically starting to connect and never checked out the new features.

However, while that will bandaid me long enough to show my supervisor it doesn't achieve a single user/password without modification.

I would really prefer to have the single LDAP be stored on the mail server. That way there won't be any downtime with mail if all of a sudden the LDAP settings change on either product during an update.

Is it possible?

I'm also very interested in collaborating zimbra and openfiler.
Is it possible??

You'll probably need the Samba and posix extensions installed in Zimbra and the correct setting for 'LDAP User Suffix' (it's on the Services/SMB Settings tab) on your openfiler server.

Thanks Bill,
I'm trying the setup now. I'll report when it's done.

Hmm I still can't make it. The error:

Please configure the LDAP section of the Authentication page before attempting to use this page.

Error message:
    ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)

I set it up this way:

  Use LDAP: YES
Local LDAP server: NO	
Use Local LDAP Server: NO
LDAP Security: 	Use TLS: NO
Server: 192.168.0.115 (zimbra)
Base DN: dc=example,dc=com
Authenticated bind DN: 	cn=config
Authenticated bind password: 123456
Root bind DN: cn=config
Root bind password: 123456
SMB LDAP Configuration: 	Login SMB server to root DN: YES
User password policy: 	Allow user to change password

Ok some progresses here?
I edit directly the smb.conf in the openfiler:


And do smbpasswd -w 123456

Try it without the 'Authenticated Bind' information.

I'm using zimbra 5.0.2.
Is the rootdn is cn=config? or the previous zimbra?
