LDAP server and client install HOWTO?

Post by reapur » 2015/04/15 16:59:44

Hi Guys,
I'm wondering if you can point me to a help file on how to install Openldap on centos 6 and a centos client?

I have seen, and tried to follow, many that I found on google, but they seem to be old and haven't worked for me.
-- http://docs.adaptivecomputing.com/viewp ... entos6.htm
-- http://www.server-world.info/en/note?os=CentOS_6&p=ldap
and many others

What I have gotten accomplished:
1- installed openldap (no TLS, no certs)
2- added users, groups and ou
3- able to ldapsearch on the ldap server, no problems.

on client
1- I can su - as an ldap user
2- getent passwd ldapuser
3- ldapsearch -x -LL "cn=ldapuser"
4- I *CANNOT* ssh ldapuser@<current client>
^^^ This is the part that I need to chase down, I can't understand the debug msgs from ssh -vvv ldapuser@host so I can't figure out how to proceed.

We don't want to use TLS or certs because we're setting up two environments, one with TLS and one without.

Thanks
