Hi,
I'm LDAP newbie, finding my way with configuration of the my first LDAP server on SLES10 SP1.
The requirement is that users that access the server via ssh should be authenticated against locally running (i.e. on the same server) LDAP server.
1. Should I install PAM-LDAP rpm package to make such setup work?
2. What is the role of NSS_LDAP package? My understanding it has something to do with nsswitch.conf? Must it be installed is well?
This is a very basic SLES setup, you only had to go to Yast and select eh Ldap client and tell you want users autentified against ldap, then yast will install the required packages also, if you hadn't done it, you should add the default ldap configuration for storing user accounts and groups (in the same ldap client module) the steps from the base installations should be as follows: 1. enter Yast 2. go to network services 3. go to Ldap server 4. add your ldap domain 5. go to ldap client 6. select autentificate users against the ldap server 7. select the options to install the default configuration for autentifications of users and groups now you will be able to add users to your ldap installation with manage users and groups in yast and login via ssh in your sles box HTH -- Un saludo.
