My guess is that your config on the server is not right.  So it looks like you are using the slap.d which is what i am using as well.  (I need to upload some updated rpms I think to gradientzero as well).

I used this site to help me get my configuration working
http://www.zytrax.com/books/ldap/ch6/slapd-config.html

So my directory structural looks like:

NOTE: While you can edit these files through the filesystem I higly recommend that you edit the files through ldap commands.  I use Apache Directory Studio as my GUI type front end and use ldapvi when I just one to make changes to values already in the ldap server and then to make major changes I use ldapmodify to make them.

I think these should help you find where you have gone wrong with the configuration of the slapd configuration.

So in my actual directory I have an ou=Systems,dc=domain,dc=ZZZ


cn=sysadmin,ou=Systems,dc=domain,dc=ZZZ
cn: sysadmin

objectClass: top
objectClass: groupOfNames
objectClass: labeledURIObject

member: uid=nobody,ou=People,dc=domain,dc=ZZZ
labeledURI: ldap:///ou=People,dc=domain,dc=ZZZ??one?(host=sysadmin)

The nobody user is a fake user that is in all my groups the user cannot login the ladelURI says that if a use has host=sysadmin they should be in this group.

/etc/ldap.conf:
pam_groupdn cn=sysadmin,ou=Systems,dc=domain,dc=ZZZ
pam_member_attribute member

Also note that I hacked my schema to allow the host attribute in the PosixAccount users.

Hi
I've followed Adam's post below on 'using pam_groupdn to use dynlist' to my query posted couple of months back and after revisiting this configuration facing issue with doing ssh to client machine with dynamic member of the group. It works correctly for the static members of the same group.Could you figure out if I'm missing something here??

Currently using Ubuntu 9.10 which uses slapd.d configuration directory.

ldap.conf on client machine contains

# Group member attribute

I have added following group
dn: cn=u910desk,ou=Machines,dc=testlab,dc=com
cn: u910desk
ipHostNumber: 172.17.5.232

member: uid=henry,ou=Users,dc=testlab,dc=com

Also a user with host=cms3 entry, which should become dynamic member 'u910desk' after resolving labledURI above

dn: uid=jack,ou=Users,dc=testlab,dc=com
cn: jack
sn: jack

objectClass: posixAccount
objectClass: shadowAccount
objectClass: hostobj

However when I run search for member of group 'u910desk' it returns following : member list does not contain entry of user 'jack' here

$ldapsearch -xLLL -b 'cn=u910desk,ou=Machines,dc=testlab,dc=com' member
dn: cn=u910desk,ou=Machines,dc=testlab,dc=com
member: cn=placeholder,dc=testlab,dc=com
member: uid=henry,ou=Users,dc=testlab,dc=com

For same reason(not sure tho) I think I'm not able to ssh to this client using 'jack', however ssh using 'henry' works it being a static member of 'u910desk'.

admins@u910desk:~$ ssh jack@localhost
jack@localhost's password:

I am guessing you are either using RHEL5, Centos5 or some other RHEL5 based distro.  I replaced the openldap that was on my centos5 machines with an newer version at 2.4.16+patches.

I have uploaded the rpms and srpms of what I used which you can do a drop in replacement of the RHEL5 based openldap rpms.
http://www.gradientzero.com/openldap/

I do not remember for sure but I think I had to force one or 2 of the packages it get it to install but once everyhting is installed then it ran fine for me.  I have 3 ldap servers using this version setup in a multi-master setup.

Since I am doing a multimastet setup, I do not use slapd.conf but rather the slapd.d configuration directory though the dynlist overlay should work with slapd.conf as well.

There are other ways to populate the pam_groupdn that you have associated with each machine but those all correspond to some attribute in the user's profile.

I have pam_groupdn setup like this

/etc/ldap.conf:
pam_groupdn cn=<GROUP_NAME>,ou=Systems,dc=domain,dc=com
pam_member_attribute member

cn=<GROUP_NAME>,ou=Systems,dc=domain,dc=com
cn: <GROUP_NAME>
objectClass: top
objectClass: groupOfNames
objectClass: labeledURIObject
member: uid=nobody,ou=People, dc=domain,dc=com
labeledURI: ldap:///ou=People,dc=domain,dc=com??one?(host=<type of system>)
labeledURI: ldap:///ou=People,dc=domain,dc=com??one?(gidNumber=XXXX)

So as you can see you can have as many labeledURI attributes as you want or need.  I tend to use the host name function of what the host does.

This is how my account profile would look:
uid=<MYUSERID>,ou=People,dc=domain,dc=com
host: "cluster"
host: sysadmin

So "cluster" is a compute cluster that we have and thus for all those machines the pam_groupdn cn="cluster",ou=Systems,dc=domain,dc=com, and for machines where only the sysadmins login to then pam_groupdn cn=sysadmin,ou=Systems,dc=domain,dc=com.

As long as you can for a labeledURI: ldap:///ou=People,dc=domain,dc=com??one?<attribute>=<value>) type search you can use it to auto populate the group.

Summary:
* Do to not think of the host attribute as host = hostname but as host = type of machine and that you can have more then one labeledURI per group to help populate the group.
* Use good gidNumbers for groups to help auto populate groupOfName style groups.

Hi Adam,
I'm able to get host auth working by using host attribute.But the drawback of that is everytime there a new machine, I have to add that host to all the users I want to grant access to. If I decide to do it based on group membership, I can use pam_groupdn but then it does not allow multiple group entries there, plus it has to be managed on client side,which is even more undesirable by any administrator.

I went through this article but I'm not sure if it will work if I have some members already associated with some groups. Like ldap1 & ldap2 members of qagroup & ldap3 & ldap4 members of sysadmin, would this method allow me to limit access based on their group membership?? if yes...could you briefly explain with an example?

Thank for your time in advance
