The long and short of it is you need to make sure that OpenSSH is using PAM, and that your PAM configuration is correct for doing LDAP lookups for account info and such. You also need to modify /etc/nsswitch.conf. This page may or may not be useful: https://wiki.debian.org/LDAP/NSS > The LDAP users can access ftp without trouble, but not sftp. That is potentially interesting, but there are a wide variety of ftp servers, and configuring authentication for them varies as well. Without more details about how your system is configured, I expect it will be difficult to provide additional useful advice. Hope that helps. -- Derek D.
