Hi all,

I don't see a reply to this, did you resolve it?

Now that I'm satisfied with my OpenLDAP/Kerberos server configuration, I'm attempting to devise a suitable (Debian lenny) client setup for it.

Although I hear that it may not be the best approach, I'm currently pursuing a client configuration that includes kstart, libnss-ldap, nscd and libpam-ldap. At the moment I'm happy with all of it except libnss-ldap.

Kstart has no problem obtaining an initial Kerberos ticket, but I can't get libnss-ldap to use it to access the DIT. So far my libnss-ldap.conf looks like:

base dc=example,dc=com
uri ldap://ldapks1.example.com/
ldap_version 3
rootuse_sasl yes
krb5_ccname FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_0

Well, first I would test whether, as root:

ldapsearch -H ldap://ldapks1.example.com -b dc=example,dc=com -s base

works or not.

You could also provide interesting logs from both slapd and the KDC when you try to access the DIT from nss_ldap.

I assume you are using kstart to start nscd, and that nscd is running?

(BTW, you should be using pam_krb5, preferably exclusively - without pam_ldap)
