Hi There,
I hope that you are well, wouldn't it be simpler to use the Kerb PAM
modules instead of LDAP to Kerb as Kerb is your authentication system anyhow
?
If you are on a RH 7.2 box there are PAM libs for krb5 so you could use
that via PAM authentication to authenticate right ? Unless you have a very
particular setup.
Cheers,
Aly.
