Next LUG meet: 12 Oct 2003 around 4 pm - VJTI Computer Centre -------------------------------------------------------------
LDAP auth, is a very complicated thing. It could go wrong at a number of places. First have you allowed authentication thru LDAP in /etc/nsswitch.conf or using authconfig In case you have allowed that check the logs of the client and the server. BTW what server was you using Iplanet or openldap. We have a campus wide license of iplanet for IIT and I would recommend you use that. ciao Anand On Thu, Oct 09, 2003 at 01:50:50PM +0550, Dipu Kumar M wrote: > Next LUG meet: 12 Oct 2003 around 4 pm - VJTI Computer Centre > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Hi friends, > > I am facing the foollowing problem with LDAP based authentication. > > Let me explain about it. > > I am in the first phace and so only a single machine is acting as client. > > The domain name which I am using is > > dc=it,dc=iitb,dc=ac,dc=in > > And in the client side I configued the authentication part for LDAP based > authentication. > ( ie LDAP server as 10.129.50.37 -which is the ip of my server > > Base dn as dc=it,dc=iitb,dc=ac,dc=in > ) > > Using the migration tool, I migrated the accouts from the client to server and > it is comimg under ou=People subtree in the LDAP tree. > > Then I deleted all other accounts( root, postgres etc. ) from the LDAP tree > and only one guest account of the client I kept there. > > Then I removed the guest user from the client and tried to login to that with > the assumption that I can login through the LDAP. > > But it is not allowing me for that and the usual invalid username or password > mesaage is what I am getting. > > So friends, > > Is there anything wrong in what I am doing ? > > or Is there something more I have to do ? > > Thanking you in anticipation, > > Dipu Kumar M > IIT, Bombay > He will be there whenever one wants him or not > > -- > http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
