Unfortunately I am not very well versed in Mac-ism, but we have an old page in our docs, and although it states it is valid only for freeipa v1 I see that it has links to some configuration guide for ldap: http://www.freeipa.org/page/ConfiguringMACOSXTigerClient This other page seem to apply only to 10.4 instead: http://www.freeipa.org/page/ConfiguringMacintoshClients HTH, Simo. -- Simo Sorce * Red Hat, Inc * New York ___ Freeipa-users mailing list Freeipa-users@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-users

[Freeipa-users] MD5 passwords in NIS
Hello listmates, Apparently, in order to authenticate a Mac OS X Lion client to NIS one needs passwords encrypted in MD5 hash shown in the passwd and passwd.byname maps. FreeIPA at this point only shows a *. Is there a way to change that? Thanks and Happy New Year!
