I would like authenticate windows client through ldap server which is installed in redhat. To do this I have installed pGina and configured LDAP server settings and added ldapauth plugin also. But the problem is when I am logging in , it is saying authentication via ldap server failed. Could you tell the solution for this problem?

Not without some useful information from you... what does the slapd logs show about this authentication attempt?

not allowed? Don't bother then. If you have no one to communicate with on the server side...

you need to properly configure the bind DN's etc, you don't want to just guess it. are you allowed anonymous binds even? Do you even know??

try to get the relevant log entries anyway, or maybe set up a shadow environement to test with.
