Environment
Novell GroupWise 7
Novell Open Enterprise Server (Linux based)
Novell Open Enterprise Server (Linux based)
Situation
Symptoms:
Groupwise 7 installed on Linux pointing to external LDAP
authentication source.
The log file showed d06b and 65535 errors and users couldn't
login.
LDAP traces showed 632 (no referrals) errors.
Resolution
Corrective Steps:
1. Add the /noldapx switch in the groupwise poa startup file. This will cause Groupwise to query LDAP without the ldapxs extentions.
1. Add the /noldapx switch in the groupwise poa startup file. This will cause Groupwise to query LDAP without the ldapxs extentions.
2. For LDAP authentication to work properly, the Internet
email address attribute must be populated for all users, as the
email address is used in the query.
Additional Information
Root Cause:
Groupwise by default uses the ldapxs LDAP extentions, which
contain users' context information of the tree in which GroupWise
resides. This is done to improve authentication time.
If the LDAP source is in a different tree, the user information may
be different and cause errors and login failure.
