If you do a getent on an LDAP user, does anything come back? Example:
# getent passwd some_user # getent shadow some_user If both of these return the proper values, then LDAP is configured correctly and it is most likely your PAM configuration that has an issue. If they do not return the proper values, then it is probably your LDAP configuration that is incorrect. In which case, ldapsearch is very useful for troubleshooting. -Sam -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of S S Sent: Monday, September 19, 2005 10:44 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Logon problem with LDAP for non-local users >Try using YaST => Network Services => LDAP Client >Then you won't have to much around in config files, rather, you should >just have to specify the LDAP server. We did try that route when we began, but the Yast interface assumes that you are using a Open-LDAP server, which we are not. We are using Lotus Notes as our LDAP server. Notes has a facility where it can act as a LDAP server. We have also added the approprate POSIX fields to the Notes addressbook database to support authenticating Unix/Linux users. We really did not want to have to hand-edit the LDAP client files, but that is the only way we got anything to work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
