Help with Solaris 10 and ldapclient authentication

linux-howto

http://www.unix.com – Hello everyone! Currently, i have a RHEL6 server, with openLDAP server running. Most of our servers run on Rhel platform, but some of them run in Solaris 10, and I need to make them authenticate with ldap too. As the ldap server is running without encryption, the command I used for initialize the ldap client in a test zone of a Solaris 10 server is this: HTML Code: bash-3.00# ldapclient -v manual -a defaultServerList=ldapserver.com -a defaultSearchBase=dc=example,dc=com And, if as ROOT i do id $ldap_username, I get the correct uid and gid of that ldap user. Also as root, i can do su $ (HowTos)

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 have a TestLink webservice running on a server, and OpenLDAP running on other server. There are no firewall problems between them (I managed to configure Redmine, on the same server as TestLink, to use LDAP authentication).

But whenever I place the configuration for LDAP in TestLink, TestLink stops working.

Not able to connect with LDAP 1 year 13 weeks ago

Hey Guys, I am having problems here and I need some assistance. I have installed Oracle Directory server 11.0 and have got a self signed cert imported. I can use the command "openssl s_client -connect localhost:636" to connect to the server to verify that it is listening on port 636.. however when I try to switch to a user, ldap does not comply while the ldapclient is setup with TLS.

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?

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.

am using Centos 5.3 to configure my openldap server.Every thing is going ok .The problem which I am facing is how to add users and group in my ldap server.

1- My slapd.conf is

vi /etc/openldap/slapd.conf

database bdb

suffix "dc=test,dc=local"

rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=test,dc=local"

rootpw 123

2- Now I start my LDAP service

[root@srv1 openldap]# servic

I've been migrating some servers and desktops using Ubuntu 10.04 from getting the users from an old OpenLDAP implementation to a newer Centos Active Directory. I haven't had any problems so far, until I reached a Debian Lenny server.

I've set up the server as the others, setting /etc/ldap.conf and /etc/ldap/ldap.conf.

LDAP & Ubuntu : user id's 18 weeks 4 days ago

I've got two web servers which hosts the very same content, and I replicate data between these two servers (including ownership and permissions).

As it is right now, whenever I create a new user on server A I have to create the same user on server B with the same uid and gid (for replicated file ownership and permissions to be right).

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.
