Hello Greg,

Don't have the answer to your questions, but did you check the earlier post
yesterday? There was a nice howto for setting up centralized authentication.

Greetings Guru's, 

I'm at my wits end attempting to configure LDAP authentication on my Fedora 
2 server. I'm not new to Linux, but am new to directory management. 
Running debugs on slapd returns positive information when GQ is used to 
browse/change the directory, but when I attempt to login via console with 
any user other than root results in no contact with the LDAP server. Root 
authenticates OK, but not via LDAP. 

Synopsis: 

OS=Fedora Core 2, fully updated via APT/Synaptic. 
Running current updates of openldap et al, nss_ldap, pam, and openssl. 

My LDAP server is working and searchable/writable locally using either GQ or

standard openldap tools. I have used the tools 'authconfig' and 
'system-config-authentication' to enable LDAP authentication and manually 
modified 'nsswitch.conf', and '/etc/pam.d/login and /etc/pam.d/system-auth'.


It appears that PAM is not contacting the LDAP server for authentication. 
Does anyone have a suggestion as to why this may be? I know this is a very 
open question, but I've struggled with this for about a week and spent 
several days searching the internet for answers. I have followed many 
HOW-TO's and rebuilt my LDAP directory about a dozen times. It appears the 
LDAP server is working fine, but no requests are being made from login to 
the LDAP server. 

Best regards to all, 
Greg
