LDAP authentication admin console

Post by pup_seba »

Hi,

Hi! Domain LDAP authentication is configured for an external LDAP source (not AD). Users can validate with their external LDAP credentials but, admins can't login to the admin web console even when they can log in to their web client to check e-mails.
Any ideas what is happening? audit.log just says that there is an invalid log-in attempt. Mailbox.log says that externalldap user is missing.
CentOS 7.1 with Zimbra 8.6P3 FOSS.

Regards,

It works now. It turned out that there is a domain attribute named "zimbraAuthMechAdmin" which was configured to "ad" (i don't know why). I changed that to "ldap" and even without a service restart, admin console authentication works as expected now.



Hope this saves sometime to somebody :)
