Hi,

I have finished configuring 389 on Centos 6.2. and it seems to work ok now. Not a conceptually difficult exercise, but a very complex exercise in practice, due to the many details that have to be born in mind which either are not well documented (IMHO) or scatterd in several docs, plus the tricky changes introduced by Centos 6.2.

My intention is to prepare a doc in spanish explaining how to set the thing up from the beginning and make it available to anyone who needs it.

However I still have some doubts after having gone through the installation an configuration of the product:

1. Autobind and LDAPI. From my understanding, Centos 6.2 wants you to use SSL, but on the other hand there is LDAPI which is meant to be faster and more secure. In my case, the client and LDAP will be sitting on the same machine, so I do not see the point in using SSL as opposed to ldapi. How do you configure 389 to use ldapi and not SSL? I enabled LDAPI and configured Autobind following the instructions given in RHDS 9.0 documentation, but I do not se how it is (if it is) used.

2. Is there some doc that explains the various directives found in /etc/pam_ldap.conf and /etc/nslcd.conf files? I have configured some in order to get it to work, but I do not understand well its purpose. The man page does not cover every directive and it is not quite explanatory, anyway.

Thank you.

Alberto
