Profile Manager does not see LDAP users
We are a K-12 school district with MacBook Pros on carts for students to use. On the backend, we are running Novell's eDirectory (LDAP) for authentication, and our Profile Manger server is a Mini running Yosemite (10.10.4) and OS X Server 4.1.3.
Goal: Teachers and students should be able to login to a MBP using their LDAP username/password (this works via a bind between the MBPs and the LDAP server). Profile Manager should assign permissions based on the user who logged into the MBP.
What we did: Each MBP and the OS X Server is bound to LDAP (eDirectory), and users can login successfully using LDAP credentials. In the Server app -> Users (and Groups), we can see LDAP users and Groups, and we can assign LDAP users to Local and Local Network Groups.
The Problem: In Profile Manager, we can see Local and Local Network uses as well as Local and Local Network Groups. We can see no LDAP users or groups, and we cannot see the LDAP users who were assigned to Local and Local Network Groups. In a nutshell, the Server app sees the LDAP users/groups, but Profile Manager does not.
Does anyone have a hint as to why Profile Manager does not see the LDAP users?
Thanks!
