Hi Gaiseric Vandal,
Thanks for your quick response.
I have clicked "create Home directory" in Authentication tab.
Now I am able to login to Linux client.
But whenever I browse a windows system in LDAP, it is again asking for
credentials (user name and password).
In fact, it should take the credentials from LDAP.
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance for your valuable inputs in this regard.
Regards
S.M.Kamal.
