LDAP Authentication

[zviko]

Hi Guys!!!

i get the following error when testing my ldap configuration.

[''LDAP'']
[ ERROR ] CAM-AAA-0022 The provider '/opt/IBM/cognos/c10-64/./bin64/libCAM_AAA_AuthLDAP.so' could not load.

i have installed cognos 10.2 on ubuntu linux and am using the general ldap default values. can anyone assist me please. :-[

The only settign I had to change when using the LDAP - General default values config was to tweak the User Lookup to be:

(uid=${userID})

Otherwise, I just entered the relevant Namespace ID, Host and Port and Base Distinguished Name, and it worked.

Is it possible you have an entry in your PATH environment variable that is pointing to an older/different install of Cognos?

MFGF - I've seen this before somewhere, but not in our configuration.  Where do you put the userID info and how is it used?  I was looking in Cognos Configuration but did not see it with the namespaceID, etc.  We've never used this expression, so I'm curious as to how it works.

Have you checked that all the dependencies for libCAM_AAA_AuthLDAP.so are met?

try:
ldd -r libCAM_AAA_AuthLDAP.so
