Hi,
I’m new to LDAP. I just created a new user in LDAP and it cannot login through ssh. It keeps prompting for the password. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Hi Rodney,
There are a million ways ssh auth can fail - bad sshd_config, bad PAM config, bad LDAP client config, LDAP server side problem.
Best to try to test the LDAP authentication first.
can you try something like (on one line)
ldapwhoami -H ldap://your.ldap.server -x -W -D uid=dude12,ou=people,dc=wh,dc=local
Enter the password when prompted and if it replies with
dn:uid=dude12,ou=people,dc=wh,dc=local
Then that bit works...
Then see if
getent passwd
on the client returns a list of uses with dude12 in.
Then post your pam configs and pam_ldap.conf and libnss_ldap.conf (or equivalent according to distro).
