Hello Robert,

Already tried using the "=" and got another error:

I'm using an older version of cobbler (2.2.3) but in my version the ldap settings are in /etc/cobbler/settings; I don't have a "setup" file...

In any case, in my settings file my ldap_search_prefix is:

ldap_search_prefix: 'uid='

So you may just need an "=" at the end (or whatever LDAP search operator(s) you want to use), e.g.:

ldap_search_prefix: 'sAMAccountName='

Hello,

I'm trying setup Cobbler with LDAP(AD), below the configuration of /etc/cobbler/modules.conf and /etc/cobbler/setup:

modules.conf:
[authentication]
module = authn_ldap
[authorization]
module = authz_allowall

setup:
ldap_server: "192.168.0.1"
ldap_base_dn: "dc=domain,dc=com"
ldap_port: 389
ldap_tls: 0
ldap_anonymous_bind: 0
ldap_search_bind_dn: 'CN=Admin,OU=Users,dc=domain,dc=com'
ldap_search_passwd: strangepassword'
ldap_search_prefix: 'sAMAccountName'
ldap_tls_cacertfile: ''
ldap_tls_keyfile: ''
ldap_tls_certfile: ''

Cobbler Version:
