I have some trouble with the installation of the LDAP client on Ubuntu Linux.
I followed the instructions as described the articles below. 1. http://www.linux.com/feature/114074 2. http://mcwhirter.com.au/node/25
Although I followed the steps in the article my Ubuntu keeps running exactly as before, authenticating without using LDAP. Problem is that I don't have a clue what's happening. So any suggestions on what files to check or what commands to run to test things are appreciated.
What I do know about this configuration problem is: * The LDAP server is up and running, it's usable from another application * I don't see any incoming traces when I run slapd in full debug mode and try some actions like rebooting or getent passwd from the client * The getent passwd <username> test as described in article .2 fails
So likely something went wrong with the configuration of $ apt-get install libpam-ldap libnss-ldap
Is there a way I can rerun the installer so that I can verify the configuration data I entered. What other things should I try ?
All suggestions apprectiated.
I know next to nothing about Ubuntu except that it's derived from Debian. However, both pam_ldap and nss_ldap need correctly configured configuration files. How to do this would probably be documented in your standard documentation. Otherwise your vendor forums would probably be the right place.
Best,
