Create Host Based access Add the 61ldapns.ldif file to /etc/dirsrv/instancename/schema Grab the above ldif from the link. Then, on the apache servers: edit /etc/ldap.conf and enable pam_check_host_attr Then in the dirsrv manager: From the Account Listing Select Field in ObjectClass Add Value Select HostObject Select Add Attribute Select Host Enter first host Select Host Enter Add Value Enter second host Continue for all hosts I haven't had a chance to detail the notes, but those two entries for hosts and service control allow me to specify what services a user can use and on which servers. So I could, for example, allow a user to use only ssh or only ftp on a particular host. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
