ldap users shows up in user list, but unable to login
by slacker lnx 04 Nov '13

04 Nov '13

Hi I am using LDAP for authenticating users. I have some Fedora 8 servers which are setup as ldap clients. When I create users in LDAP it shows up on all clients. I can do an 'ldapsearch' or 'getent passwd' and all the clients shows up the ldap users. But on one of the client, I am unable to login (through ssh) using the ldap userids. When I login as root and try to switch user I get a message 'user does not exist' (getent passwd and ldapsearch shows the user). On all other clients it works fine. I compared the config files in /etc/pam.d/ and /etc/nsswitch.conf but I don't see any difference. What else can I check, which other config files do I need to look at? I had followed the same steps while configuring all ldap clients. Please help Thanks

Mixing multi-master and master-slave replication
by Robert Minsk 04 Nov '13

As a factility we have locations world wide. Within each facility we would like to use multi-master replication. We would also like to sync each facility to a glued set of databases on the global servers with simple master slave replication. See ASCII art diagram below. If every OpenLDAP server across all our locations has a unique "serverID" will the global master-slave replication play nice with the facility multi-master replication? -------- -------- -------- -------- | la01 |<-- multi-master --> | la02 | | ny01 |<-- multi-master -->| ny02 | -------- -------- -------- -------- | | -- master-slave -- -- master-slave -- | | v v ------------ | global01 | ------------ -- Robert Minsk Systems and Software Engineer WWW.METHODSTUDIOS.COM <http://www.methodstudios.com> 730 Arizona Ave, Santa Monica, CA 90401 O:+1 310 434 6500 <tel:+13104346500> // F:+1 310 434 6501 <tel:+13104346501> Los Angeles <http://www.methodstudios.com/signature/url/los-angeles><http://www.methodstudios.com/signature/url/los-angeles> This e-mail and any attachments are intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain confidential information.
