Try setting your timelimt and bind_timelimit to something like a bit lower.
timelimit 4
bind_timelimit 4

Subject: Root not allowed to login
From: [email protected]
To: [email protected]
Hi,
My client is installed with RHEL 6.0 and I am using OpenLDAP 2.4. When the box
loses connection with the ldap server, even the root cannot log in as it tries
to bind with the ldap server. This can be seen when I log in with root and the
message below appears :
sshd: pam_ldap: error trying to bind as user "uid=root, ou=People,
dc=example,dc=com" (Invalid credentials).
My root user is not even in the ldap database. When connection is fine, the
message above does not affect the login of root. The login of root is only
screwed up when the box loses connectivity.
Attached are my pam.d/system-auth file, pam.d/login, pam./dsshd and ldap.conf
files.
I have been googling around but some either switch to kerberos, or the question
is left unatttended to. Please help. I can only resort to restarting the box
whenever this happens. How can I configure the ldap so that local users can
login when there's no connectivity to ldap server?
Thanks heaps!
