Active Directory Authentication

Post by cvh »

Hello All,

I'm having trouble getting active directory (2003) authentication to work with cacti 0.8.7g-1 on a ubuntu 10.10 (maverick) machine.
Could someone give me a list with possible things to verify according to following error message?
AUTH LOGIN: LDAP ERROR: Insuffient access

I read a lot about bugs about ad authentication and even saw patches available for different versions (not all official). Is there any patch for the version I use?

Thanx in advance!

Are you using Specific Searching mode?

No, configured in 'no searching' mode.

Um...

In that mode Cacti simply attempts to bind (Authenticate) to ADS using the username and password. The username is search and replaced against the value in "Distinguished Name (DN)". Example for ADS is "<username>@domain.local", "<username>" will be replaced with the supplied username from the login prompt. Then an attempt to bind will be made.

Make sure that your "Version" is set to "3" and "Encryption" is set to "None".

Yes, idd.
We see the users authenticated on the AD successfully.

I tried removing required group membership, but I still got the same error message.
