I've got a sandbox set up and finally have the centos-ds server
installed and I seem to be able to add users at least. I've been
looking at these docs :
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/
The install guide got me that far. Then my next logical step was
"OK, how do I use this now to authenticate LInux users?"
So I just went through the Admin Guide - but nada. Nothing. Negatory.
Take a look at documentation here:
http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Documentation
To authenticate linux users, you will have to configure you client hosts to ldap server by configuring /etc/ldap.conf
Which can be done using GUI/cmdline via authconfig-tui/authconfig --help
Looking at the table of contents for the deployment guide, it does not
look to be of any help either.
Look at Administration Guide
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/8.1/admin/index.html
So what do I have to read to learn how to set up my Linux boxes to
authenticate from here?
Read Above
Do they need local accounts too?
Local accounts are needed for root and other service accounts
Local disks?
Not sure what this means
What about website? Wikis? All currently using htpasswd. How do I
convert those?
For websites, you can refer to Apache authentication via LDAP
