Thanks for replies, I think I need to better describe what I'm testing. As I said I've a central repository for credentials accessible via ldaps.
389dirsvr stores some information, but before get them I need that a user authenticate on the central repository. So I've activated and configured PAM Pass Through Authentication Plug-in, and following instructions creating a specific /etc/pam.d/ldapserver as well as /etc/pam_ldap.conf This is working, I mean that if I type ldapsearch -v -LLL -Hldaps://my389 -b"dc=myDC" -D "uid=myUser" -W -x the PAM PTA strips myUser from binddn and use that as login username for PAM. Let me just say that in production I'll use a different repository based on Active DIrectory, so probably I'll use SSSD, as you suggest. The problem. If I use a command like ldapsearch -v -LLL -Hldaps://my389 -b"dc=myDC" -D "myUser" -W -x it fails, since 389dirsrv makes a syntax check on binddn before pass stripped myUser value to PAM PTA This is really trye since I do not any attempt on ldap central repository access logs. Here my question : is it mandatory using as binddn (-D) a syntax like uid=myUser or cn=myUser, or is it possible to configure 389dirsrv to rewrite myUser in uid=myUser before process it ?
