OpenFiler Attempt Failed
1603 days agoInstallation was successful. All my network cards were detected properly. I had thought that everything was going to be fine but I hit a snag. OpenFiler has recently incorporated OpenLDAP into OpenFiler to enable “local” authentication. After logging in to the web interface, I could not get OpenLDAP to work for me.
I tried different methods to configure OpenLDAP and browse forums to get more information on setting up this service. But to no avail. And the bad thing is that the Administrator guide by OpenFiler is for the older versions, they have nothing on OpenLDAP. I think a lot of people are having problems with OpenLDAP as well. Or perhaps it needs someone with way more experience in networking and with LDAP than me. But I hope that there will be a solution soon. Or at least a solution which I can understand. I am rather keen to test out the features but in order to do that OpenLDAP or a third party LDAP authentication system is needed. I don’t have any on my network currently.
Anyone has any success in getting OpenLDAP to work? The problem I am getting is that they say that my LDAP setting is not valid. And after doing some changes, I get the error message that the authentication is not successful or something. Ahhh…..so so so so frustrating. Took me about 1-2 hours to troubleshoot the problem but couldn’t solve it.
If only FreeNAS has individual share policy, I would highly recommend FreeNAS. But it looks like we need to wait a while longer for the next milestone in order for FreeNAS to have such a feature. I thought that OpenFiler is the solution to all my problems, too bad, I couldn’t get it work for me.
