Guys, I have a query, lets take a scenario : Assume we have 2 servers "Server1" and "Server2" and 2 groups "Admin" and "ITTech", What is needed is like say when a user "bob" logging in to "Server1" he will get the group "Admin", but when he logs in to "Server2" he will get group "ITTech". Also it may vary for different users like when "Kris" logs in to Server1 he may get a group called "ITTech" and when he logs in to "Server2" he will get some other group say "Security". Can it be possible by OpenLDAP ?

If this is achieved then we are planning to have SUDO files based on the grooups.

We are using this functionality without any problems. :) This is feature of nss_ldap. ldap: personals user groups: ou=groups,o=company first project groups: cn=group1,ou=project1,o=company cn=group2,ou=project1,o=company second project groups: cn=group1,ou=project2,o=company cn=group2,ou=project2,o=company "Server1" nss_ldap.conf: nss_base_group ou=groups,o=company?sub nss_base_group ou=project1,o=company?one "Server2" nss_ldap.conf: nss_base_group ou=groups,o=company?sub nss_base_group ou=project2,o=company?one WBR >> If this is achieved then we are planning >> to have SUDO files based on the grooups. > > It would be much more effective to have your sudo rules in LDAP, and apply a > rule to a set of users/groups to a collection/netgroup of hosts. > > Regards, > Buchan >

Guys, I have a query, lets take a scenario : Assume we have 2 servers "Server1" and "Server2" and 2 groups "Admin" and "ITTech", What is needed is like say when a user "bob" logging in to "Server1" he will get the group "Admin", but when he logs in to "Server2" he will get group "ITTech".� Also it may vary for different users like when "Kris" logs in to Server1 he may get a group called "ITTech" and when he logs in to "Server2"� he will get some other group say "Security". Can it be possible by OpenLDAP ? If this is achieved then we are planning to have SUDO files based on the grooups. It would be great if you can provide me some pointers or how-to. Regards, Neo
