Thread: OpenLDAP for 10.04

hello,
i'm complete beginner ubuntu. i've been looking after ms/windows environment 10 years, have been asked implement ubuntu network few of our sites. have had partial success of elements (dhcp, clonezilla, static ip addresses etc.) stuck on ldap, or method of user account creation/authentication.
brief description of requirement.
1 server (for dhcp/dns/small amount of file storage space)
approx 30 pcs running ubuntu desktop users need able use login , access shared folder.
educational suite private company might require turnover of new user account creation/deletion on weekly basis.
there no other type of servers connected network.

have worked through document here initial installation. works fine. don't want domain called "example.com" have tried substituting "example.com" "mydomain.local". but, once this, have following error:

ldap_bind: invlaid credentials (49)

have not changed password example ldif files works fine before attempt change of domain informaiton.

said, complete beginer @ this, have ms experience try , draw on when comes making comparison.

appreciate if possible.
many thanks

hbed
