Re: How to add a user with root permission?
The openldap server and the clients were installed following the
instructions here.
https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/openldap-server.html
On the client, the configuration follows this.
https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/openldap-server.html#openldap-aut...
I am just able to follow the configuration steps. But I don't quite
understand how NSS and PAM work. Could anybody point me the right
direction on how to figure out who and when login on the client
servers with authentication using a central openldap server?

You're not telling us which PAM/NSS software you're using. Some software (e.g.
sssd) ignores LDAP user entries with uidNumber 0 for very good reasons.
But this is rather off-topic here.
