Re: [SLE] LDAP Profile on Suse Server

ok here is what you do quick and dirty if your solaris box is using open ldap its easy if you are ysing the sun one client this may be a little different first copy your /etc/openldap/ldap.conf file from you linux server and change the host name from localhost to the full host name of your ldap server "ldap.example.com" next copy the /etc/nsswitch.conf from your linux box to your sloaris box then you need to configure pam on the solaris box to use the ldap plugin ther should be examples of this some were in the /usr/share/doc/packages directory on your linux box if you need any further help let me know and ill send you link to documentation on the web when i have more time.

I've added a Solaris 8.0 system to my network.I'am trying to use the same login credentials to login to the solaris box.But I'am not able to login. I guess I have to create/configure LDAP client profiles on an LDAP server to support Solaris. PL let me know how to do this??????

I don't know much about LDAP. But, if you just want to have Solaris authenticate from SUSE, you could set up NIS.

Use Yast to set up the server and then try this on Solaris as root:

# cd /etc # cp nsswitch.nis nsswitch.conf # ypinit -c

I think this should work. I've authenticated Solaris and Linux from a Solaris NIS server and Linux from a Linux NIS server. I have never tried Solaris from a Linux server ... it should still work though.
