I am trying to Pam Pass through auth from one FDS server to another..So basically use a remote server for only auth info similar to a kerberos pass through, but use the account info from the local ldap server.. This is what PAM PTA does with kerberos, I just want to use another LDAP server as the authentication source instead of kerberos. This has proven difficult to do. I have read the documentaion on PTA and PAM PTA. I have tried various things to get this going. Does not seem to want to cooperate. Firstly I have two FDS servers..one that has my account info or authorization info for the users. And then I have an existing LDAP server with the password information that I want to use for authenticating..The RDN is the same so I just want to pass through the password similar to PAM PTA with Kerberos. I cannot get this to work.. My question: is it possible to pass through authentication to LDAP instead of Kerberos with 389? Secondly I have tried using the PTA plugin (not PAM PTA) by setting the ldap url and suffix in the pluginarg attribute of the local server with the LDAP accounts..The pluginarg url contains the url of the LDAP server with the authentication info I need. (The RDNs are the same on each server) This works to a point. I can bind to the local LDAP server with the credentials belonging the suffix I specify in the pluginarg attribute of the PTA plugin. I can search the directory with this method.. However I cannot use this method in a ssh session or desktop session to login to a client workstation. My question: Is it possible to strictly use the PTA plugin to grab authentication credentials from the remote LDAP server specified in pluginarg and use the account/authorization of the local ldap server to facilitae login sessions? > -- 389 users mailing list 389-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/389-users
