Management Console "Provide Credentials" can't authenticate.

Question

At this screen during install, it asks for
User name:
Password:
Context:
I put CN=admin,o=(his context), and this then fades the Context box, and then I enter I know to be the password in, but get "The authentication attempt failed: Confidentiality is required for this operation". I also get this if I leave the default context it opened up the screen in. ( [root] Treename )
If I put in just "admin" for the name, the known password, and the correct context, I get "The user name admin is invalid"
What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

"Confidentiality is required" means that eDirectory is configured to require a SSL-secured connection over the LDAP port.
You can change that setting in the LDAP Group/Server object in eDir. Also, you can choose ZESM to establish an SSL-secured connection to eDir over the SLDAP (Secure LDAP) port and avoid changing the eDir side.
Check to see if you can connect using an LDAP browser to eDir using 389 (LDAP) and 636 (SLDAP) ports.
