SUMMARY: How to authenticate a RHEL client to SunOne 5.2 Directory Server anybody done this???

From: Dave Martini <martini_at_mrpeabody.llnl.gov>

I got it working by running authconfig on the Linux client and selecting
LDAP for the authentication. It was set to MD5.

Dave.

Below is my original question

Has anybody been able to configure a RHEL 3 or 4 machine as a client of
a SunOne 5.2 Directory Server?

I've got most of it working but I can't ssh or telnet into the RHEL machine.

The symptom is I can't log into the Red Hat client as the ldap user
(user80) using ssh it asks me for the password over and over

martini@host:/home/martini[3]% ssh -l user80 redhatclient
user80@redhatclient's password:
user80@redhatclient's password:
user80@redhatclient's password:

My /etc/auto.master and /etc/auto.home files on the client looks like this

[root@redhatclient init.d]# more /etc/auto.master
#
# $Id: auto.master,v 1.3 2003/09/29 08:22:35 raven Exp $
#
# Sample auto.master file
# This is an automounter map and it has the following format
# key [ -mount-options-separated-by-comma ] location
# For details of the format look at autofs(5).
#/misc  /etc/auto.misc --timeout=60
#/misc  /etc/auto.misc
#/net   /etc/auto.net
+auto.master
[root@redhatclient init.d]#
[root@redhatclient init.d]# more /etc/auto.home
+auto.home
[root@redhatclient init.d]#



I can however do an su - user80 from the Red Hat client and that works
and automounts do work as well.

[root@redhatclient]# su - user80
[user80@redhatclient ~]$ df -k .
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
nfsserver:/home/user80     4676672   3706464    923424  81% /home/user80
[user80@redhatclient ~]$

Is there anything on the LDAP server I should check??

I'm thinking this is a client issue with the /etc/ldap.conf file on the
Red Hat machine. I remember when trying to log into a Solaris 9 client
it didn't work until I switched to pam_ldap from pam_unix.

Is the /etc/ldap.conf file on the Red Hat Client using pam_ldap?

My /etc/openldap/ldap.conf file on Red Hat client looks like this

[user80@eredhatclient openldap]$ more ldap.conf
#
# LDAP Defaults
#

# See ldap.conf(5) for details
# This file should be world readable but not world writable.

#BASE   dc=example, dc=com
#URI    ldap://ldap.example.com ldap://ldap-master.example.com:666

#SIZELIMIT      12
#TIMELIMIT      15
#DEREF          never
HOST ldapserver.llnl.gov
BASE dc=llnl,dc=gov

Here is my /etc/ldap.conf file on the Red Hat Client

The line that reads
pam_password crypt is correct isn't it???? I did select crypt when
configuring the LDAP server. Again, Solaris clients can log into
themselves with ssh no problem.

(NOTE) I HAVE NOT CONFIGURED TLS YET so in the file below I did not
specify the use of tls/ssl. If anyone sees any possible errors in this
file and or if you can let me know how yours looks that would be great.
Thank You.
