RE: Problem with pam_ldap

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, but indeed nss was already setup with the following entries:
        passwd:     files ldap
        shadow:     files ldap
        group:      files ldap

getent command works and UIDs/GIDs in file permissions look correct:
[root@rh01 bin]# getent passwd | grep myuser
myuser:x:10002:10001:myUser (LDAP):/home/ldap/john:/bin/bash


[root@rh01 bin]# ls -lsa /home/ldap/john/
4 drwxr-x--- 2 myuser iam  4096 2008-02-15 17:17 .

Hi,

it looks like you have not configured NSS (nss-ldap) to use LDAP server for
list of users. Does the command getent passwd myuser find the user "myuser"? If
not, then the system does not know anything about this user and does not want
to authenticate it.

You have to setup both nss-ldap (for system to be able to see LDAP users) and
pam-ldap (for PAM to authenticate using LDAP).


Regards,


Wolf.
