Just to add, with Centos using authconfig-tui u setup your machine to authenticated vs ldap, it works, this change nsswitch.conf, after this u can use the users from ldap inside Centos. Just need to verify pam, thanks John. -- LIving the dream... -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba

I found I needed a few extra steps. If you are using autofs for your home directories you may need to specify a "rootbinddn" value in /etc/ldap.conf (which perms 700.) This also requires storing the password in /etc/ldap.secret. Autofs runs with the root user privileges and not the real user's privileges. Sometimes if your home directory fails to mount it cause your login session to fail. (alternately, you may be able to use an ldap proxyuser account but it may not be secure.) Make sure in /etc/ldap.conf that parameters like "nss_base_group" are set correctly. Make sure that /etc/sysconfig/autofs specifies the correct ldap naming schema. And you may want to check /etc/auto_master etc. My ldap backend was tweeked to support solaris and linux autofs clients- you may not need to do this. This isn't really a samba issue. I didn't need to change pam. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba |
