I´m trying to authenticate a SLES10 with a Windows 2008 R2 Active
Directory to can use the mail server from the SUSE with the Windows
authentication
Whit the yast mail-server command i have an error …[/color]
Not sure as I haven’t done this before.
One thing I do note is that your AD domain ends on .local, which is
defined/known as a DNS multicast domain (‘Multicast DNS’
(http://www.multicastdns.org/)) and means hosts in a .local domain
won’t resolve normally on SLES 10 unless one turns off the mDNS option.
As a quick test, can you ping and/or resolve the domain controller by
name from the SLES server?
In any case, add the ‘mdns off’ option to the /etc/host.conf
Code:
mdns off
, and make sure the /etc/nsswitch.conf hosts and network parameters are
only is set to look at files and dns, like;
Code:
hosts: files dns
networks: files dns
…then reboot the SLES server. Then retry the LDAP (re)configuration
and see if the error presists.
