Hi, I currently have openldap-2.0.7-4 running and nss_ldap-122-4 I can su to a user who has info in LDAP only, and the id and whoami all report the valid info. my question is: can a setup be created so that a user can use the passwd cmd to change their password? the best I can get is bash-2.04$ passwd Enter login(LDAP) password: New clibLDAP password: Retype new clibLDAP password: passwd: Authentication token manipulation error bash-2.04$ where the clibLDAP prompt comes from [root@kloof pam.d]# cat system-auth #%PAM-1.0 # This file is auto-generated. # User changes will be destroyed the next time authconfig is run. auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_ldap.so auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_unix.so likeauth nullok md5 shadow use_first_pass auth required /lib/security/pam_deny.so account sufficient /lib/security/pam_ldap.so account sufficient /lib/security/pam_unix.so account required /lib/security/pam_deny.so password required /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so retry=3 type=clibLDAP password sufficient /lib/security/pam_ldap.so password sufficient /lib/security/pam_unix.so nullok use_authtok md5 shadow #try_first_pass password required /lib/security/pam_deny.so session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so session optional /lib/security/pam_ldap.so session required /lib/security/pam_unix.so This is on a Redhat 7.0 system.
