Thanks all. You are right. LDAP uses plain text password. I had ‘&’ symbol in the password and that breaks it. I set up a test RHEL server and was able to make it work by removing ‘&’ symbol. My “controlled” server however is till not working. No error in /var/log/php-fpm/www-error.log. Apache detected when I tried to login. Re-installing -php-ldap but no go. Does anyone know how to debug it? Thanks!

@george1421 Do you we an older version of LDAP plugin somewhere I can try? Thanks.

@george1421 I have a working server running FOG 1.5.6.2 on Debian with the same settings using an older version of LDAP plugin with an encrypted password and it’s working fine. I tested my bind user account un-encrypted password and it’s working fine. The only differences are encrypted pw vs none. I’ll do more tests to see why it’s not working. My apologies for being a pest and thank you very much for all the help.

@george1421 I went to FOG settings and put in AD password in FOG_AD_DEFAULT_PASSWORD under Active Directory Defaults. The password gets encrypted automatically in the web UI. LDAP doesn’t do that. Should it get encrypted the same way?

@george1421 I have bind DN in DN format. Where in the web UI I can go to encrypt the password?

Hello All,

I’m running FOG Version 1.5.7.753 and trying to configure LDAP plugin 1.6. I can’t find FOGCRYPT anymore. Does it still require to encrypt Bind Password? I’ve tried Bind Password w/o encryption but I can’t log using AD account.

@Daniel-Miller Thanks Daniel. They use puppet. I’ll shoot them an email.

Thanks again everyone for all the help.

@Sebastian-Roth You are right. vsftpd service wasn’t running. I have noticed vsftpd service gets disabled/deleted after a period of time or on reboot. xinetd and tftp service turns of by itself. I followed instructions on wiki page to disable selinux but it keeps on coming back. Any idea why?

@Sebastian-Roth Storage Node unable to connect and create a new image in Images/Create new images

I re-ran the installation. Everything was working properly. I rebooted the server. the same issues came back. Re-ran installation, issue fixed. How do I make sure all of the required services are running?
