OK, after setting up my centos-ds server in pretty much a default
config, I added a user and then did some playing around with a client.
Here is all I had to do to get the client authenticating :
On the other (client) CentOS box, as root :
system-config-authentication --enableldap --ldapserver=sandbox1
--ldapbasedn="dc=office,dc=example,dc=com" --update
system-config-authentication --enableldap --enableldapauth --update
Note that "sandbox1" is my centos-ds server. And my domain is
"office.example.com" though of course my real domain name :-)
This just gives me basic auth - nothing fancy yet. I have the homedir
in centos-ds set to '/home/alan', and before logging in on the client,
as root I created that dir and set it to 0777. Now I want to try to
get fancy :-)
