Thanks for the video, very clear. So if then i would like to authenticate a windows client, i read on the net, i've been told to use Samba server integrated to ldap. But up to now i've not find something interesting at all. Cn you help me please?

I ran into the same error listed in all the other comments... Everything looks great until attempting to authenticate with the LDAP server, I get permission denied. After several hours I ran across my fix. Examining the /etc/ldap.conf file I noticed the entry "uri ldapi://10.10.1.171:389/", I removed the "i" from the "ldap" portion of the statement and ran the command "getent passwd" and my ldap users popped in along with all the local users. I was then able to authenticate against my LDAP server. Hope this helps....

i have followed all the steps but in the end i can't be authenticated :(

I'm getting permission denied while logging for user in client using ssh. I thing this is happening due to another problem. I'm getting some error while checking status of nscd and that is smthng about ldap server is not connected or not reachable to the ldap server. So do you have any solution for this??? Even if i'm just following your steps. My ldap server status is fine i.e. properly working and there is no problem between server and client connection.

So, you can actually login in the GUI allow or only via Terminal?

Hi, Can you help me with this. I have installed openLDAP on my Ubuntu 16.04 wth phpldapadmin (for GUI access). I want to connect my windows machines to the Ubuntu domain. Can someone suggest me any ideas? The LDAP should authenticate any LDAP users over the windows machines

Two thoughts:
* Letting local roots be LDAP admins is not a good idea. One machine taken over, your whole system is taken over.
* Did I miss it or is your LDAP setup completely unencrypted? Check your network interface with e.g. wireshark and read all the plain text passwords.
