George,

That is correct, we are attempting to use the FDS7 as a central authentication system for Solaris 10 NSS Clients with a PAM backend.

We believe that we are missing the proper schemas on the server (DUAConfigProfile and Solaris) to support the Solaris Clients. The ones on Tay's website seem to be in the wrong format (schema instead of ldif)...or we just dont know how to import them!

You can use this script http://www.directory.fedora.redhat.com/download/ol-schema-migrate.pl found on this page http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Howto:OpenLDAPMigration
to convert .schema files to .ldif schema files. e.g.
perl ol-schema-migrate.pl solaris.schema > slapd-myhost/config/schema/61solaris.ldif
Then restart slapd


We have been scrounging his site for clues/ideas...developers on the client side are convinced the server is the issue...developers on the server side believe it is the client. My take is that we already have the server "most" of the way, because we are successfully authenticating Linux clients securely to the FDS7 server and we are missing some essential piece on the server side to solve the Solaris puzzle.

If you have any further thoughts, ideas, or prayers...feel free to send them our way.

Hi Brian,

By "Solaris Clients", I assume you mean Solaris naming service (for passwd, group, etc.).

The answer is yes. Any modern, properly configured LDAP server, including Fedora DS, can support Solaris naming service. However, getting the server "properly configured" can be tricky.

However, since Sun's own directory server ("Sun Java Enterprise System Directory Server") is so very similar to Fedora DS, much of the same preparation methods and documentation regarding SunDS will apply directly to Fedora DS.

A good starting point would be Gary Tay's fine documentation at:
http://web.singnet.com.sg/~garyttt/

Gary's docs were written around iPlanet/Sun DS, but as I mentioned, pretty much all of this should also apply to Fedora DS.

Good luck!

All,

Does the Fedora DS support Solaris Clients? If so, where can I find information, schema examples, etc....

Thanks in advance,
Brian
