It sounds to me like you are almost here and just need help creating the LDAP groups, ACLs
and LDAP search/filters for use with nss_ldap on RHEL 4/5 and Centos?

OpenLDAP 23 client with 24 server?
by Matt Juszczak
Hi All,
Most of our boxes are FreeBSD. FreeBSD has ports for openldap22,
openldap23, and openldap24. Not using slurpd much anymore in my setups, I
decided to run with openldap24 in our recent setup. Setup openldap24
server, and all the FreeBSD clients have openldap24 clients. Everything
is working well.
Recently, we had to introduce a few RHEL boxes into our setup. We're
pointing to the redhat repositories, but they seem to only have
openldap23-* client packages. I know I could potentially make my own
packages, or perhaps get RPM's from the Internet, but I was wondering if
by some chance openldap23 clients (and pam_ldap/nss_ldap libraries) are
compatible with openldap24 servers? I would assume the other way around
(openldap24 clients with openldap23 servers) would work fine.
Thanks!

freeBSD 7.0 + passwd + openldap
by François Mehault
Hi all
Maybe it's not the good mailing list (sorry !)to post my question, but I hope someone can help me. I use OpenLDAP to authenticate some users. Then I want my users are able to change their passwords themselves with the command passwd. But I have this message :
<14:59>[labobe1:~]$ passwd
passwd: Sorry, `passwd' can only change passwords for local or NIS users.
I read that I have to modify passwd.c in /usr/src/usr.bin/passwd but I can't find this path, I just have /usr/src/sys
Is-there another way to change users's password ?
Thanks for your help,
Regards,
François

Very nice! We did something like this for a hosting company that had users accounts with the services that
the user was allowed to access and the specific apps had the appropriate filters in the authz/auth searches.

Hmm, my ldapmodify don't know this switch.
How can I delete all entrys under an OU?
If this works I delete all entrys and add them with the right ObjectClass.

Newbie planning for the future
by Alex Moen
Hi all,
I am a newbie to LDAP, and have just gotten my first directory server
up and running, using openldap.
I have been researching and reading a lot of material for quite a
while about schema design and planning, and haven't found much
pertaining to what I want to do.
We have 50+ servers, serving thousands of customers. I want to
migrate those servers to LDAP authentication and authorization, but
have not found the proper design for multiple servers and duplicated
users. Most references just do the basic "example.com" example and
never expand on it from there. Ultimately, I would like to allow my
admins to have a single account across multiple servers (kind of
"authorization account merging"), but still allot the schema to be
"separate" enough that duplicated usernames on different machines,
corresponding to different people, still exist.
Are there any really good references out there that do step-by-step
walk throughs of the type of schema designing that I am thinking of?
Or is it impossible? Or am I just really making too much of this? :)
Thanks for any insights...

unable to add certain entries

This is slapd 2.3.27, which is included in Apple OSX 10.5. This
particular entry is for a computer group called mslib, and I'm using
Apple's workgroup manager tool to add it. Other names will add, it
seems to be entries that were created before but aren't showing up
now. This is also happening for other object classes, like computer
entires.
slapcat and the other tools I use don't show an existing entry for
mslib or the other names that won't add. Any advise on where to go
from here would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Andy Zirkel.
