Here are some guides that I referenced to configure CentOS LDAP auth without certificates: https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7679 http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-enterprise-47/rhel-6-ldap-now-requires-tls-843917/ That being said, if you are starting from the ground up, I think it's probably better to start moving towards using SSL certs. It is likely to get harder and harder to configure plain LDAP auth in CentOS, especially with RHEL 7 coming out. --keith -- kkeller@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
