Hello,  
I tried to connect xtradb cluster with ldap, so i installed auth\_pam plugin and authconfig and i configured the files mysql, nslcd.conf.

cat /etc/pam.d/mysql

auth [success=1 new\_authtok\_reqd=1 default=ignore] pam\_unix.so audit\_log audit  
auth required pam\_ldap.so try\_first\_pass debug audit\_log audit  
auth required pam\_user\_map.so debug audit\_log audit  
account sufficient pam\_unix.so audit debug audit\_log audit  
account required pam\_ldap.so debug audit\_log audit

cat /etc/nslcd.conf

filter passwd (uid=\*)  
uri ldap://172.17.0.7  
base ou=people,dc=yassinec,dc=com  
ssl no

i tested ldapsearch -x and it works but when i use mysql -u … to connect with a user on ldap, it gaves this error:

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ‘yassinec’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES)

Thank you in advance,
