I’ve google and searched, and have had very little luck...
I have:
- Installed all the packages.
- Configured and have running OpenLDAP.
- Migrated my passwd/shadow/group/hosts files into the directory
- Tested the directory using ldapsearch
- Installed LAM (web interface to LDAP authentication)
- Added a user using LAM.
- Confirmed user is in directory.
- Confirmed user is not in /etc/passwd
- Confirmed using “getent passwd | grep username” that the user is listed.
- Confirmed using “getent passwd” shows two records for each user except ldap-only users (one for /etc/passwd, one for LDAP).
However,
“id username”
Returns unknown user
And trying to log in as username at either the terminal or ssh fails, and upon examining the logs, the error message says unknown user.
I configured /etc/pam.d/system-auth using authcongfig-tui, adding only the pam_mkhomedir.so line (and I tried it without that line as well).
Everything seems right – but its not working. Can anyone offer any suggestions as to where I should be looking? If necessary, I’ll post my /etc/openldap/slapd.conf, /etc/openldap/ldap.conf, /etc/pam.d/system-auth, and /etc/nsswitch.conf files – I just didn’t want to send them if not necessary.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
