WINDOWS AD CLIENTS & LINUX LDAP CLIENTS UNABLE TO OPEN X-WINDOWS EMULATORS
by Borresen, John - 0442 - MITLL
All,
Sorry for the long subject line.
1) We are migrating away from NIS to LDAP for our Linux/Unix clients and
servers.
2) All our Windows clients authenticate with the main Active Directory
server.
Now the issue:
Many of our end-users utilize various X-Windows Emulators (Exceed, XWin32,
Xming, etc) to open a connection to a Linux server. When we used NIS, the
End-users had no problem opening a X-Win session to a server. Now under
LDAP, the users get authenticated properly but the X-Win session gets
blocked and never opens. In the messages file, and secure file, you can see
the users getting authenticated and granted access but the X-win session
never opens on the client machine.
Has anyone else seen this issue?
Thanks,
