Dear All,
can anyone tell me what is the difference between these two files of LDAP client /etc/ldap.conf and /etc/ldap/ldap.conf and for what purposes these two files gives services. Is it necessary to have these two files at a time ?
I am currently trying to add LDAP support to supplement a file auth system. Unfortunately, I can't just phase out the file system in it's entirety because of when the LDAP server goes down. The current status is that I have a system that works for both LDAP and file login, if the LDAP server is online and responding. But, when the LDAP server goes down, that is when I encounter issues.
I have a windows ldap client setup and I have been able to connect to it using the gui ldap admin client. When I try to connect to it using my ubuntu 12.04 client I get the following error in my auth.log:
Aug 21 16:38:20 uby getent: nss_ldap: failed to bind to LDAP server
ldap://pdc.ad.company.com:389: Invalid credentials
Context : We have a Ubuntu 12.04 with authentication done on a ldap server.
Unfortunately, one (ldap) user belongs to a (ldap) group named "admin".
I know there is the option nss_initgroups_ignoreusers to list the users I don't want to be looked for from the ldap. But couldn't find any equivalent for groups.
How could I specify ldap groups not to be used on this installation?
Using 12.04
I'm new to LDAP. I'm trying to make a simple network login authenticator.
I have used this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/server...ap-server.html but did not follow the part on replication as I dont have enough hardware.
I can...
$ sudo ldapaddgroup test
Successfully added group test to LDAP
However ...
$ sudo ldapadduser bob test
Error adding user bob to LDAP
Hello everyone!
Currently, i have a RHEL6 server, with openLDAP server running.
What I've Done:
I've successfully installed and configured Subversion Edge 3.1.2 with LDAP support on a Windows 2008 server. I have configured LDAP users and am able to use LDAP credentials to work on repositories just fine. No issues whatsoever.
I followed the guide from the below link to set up a ldap server. After everything is finished, I configured a client for ldap authentication and I can search the entries in ldap using the command
ldapsearch -x ZZ but when I am trying to login to the client using a ldap user, the prompt just keeps waiting.
I'm trying to configure a 12.04 lab with users on a LDAP server (now the clients are Karmic) and I'd like to get some light on some configuration files.
1. /etc/ldap.conf and /etc/ldap/ldap.conf
Why two files? Can I use just one?
2. /etc/libnss-ldap.conf
This one is now missing, but still I could use to declare "scope sub
bind_policy soft" . Where should I put theese?
