Hi,

I have made a setup of OpenLDAP and DNS server to work as Domain Controller.
In OpenLDAP I can add users query users and query domain aslo. OpenLDAP alone seems to be working fine.
I have also added an enrtry in forward zone file on DNS. The entry is as follows
server IN A 192.168.0.114
_ldap._tcp.example.com. IN SRV 0 0 389 server
_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.example.com. IN SRV 0 0 389 server

And when I query the DNS server it gives with proper answer for A, NS and AAAA records.

Now when I try to add a WinXP machine to this domain it gives following error.

DNS was successfully queried for the service location (SRV) resou\rce record used to locate a domain controller for domain example.com.

The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.example.com

The following domain controler were identified by the query.

server.example.com

Common causes of this problem include

-HOST (A) records that map the name for the domain controller to it's IP addresses are missing or contain incorrect addresses.
-Domain controller registered in DNS are not connected to the network or are not running.


Please help me to solve this problem.



Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply. It really helped me out. I added object to base.ldif and now I can add users to the database.
Now openldap is working ok. It answers to the query also.
I have also configured DNS for the openldap server and my entries to zone file are as following.

_ldap._tcp.example.com. SRV 0 0 389
_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.example.com. SRV 0 0 389

But now what problem I have is that I cannot add a WinXP machine to this domain.

Please help me solving this problem.


Thanks in advance.
