similar to: LDAP authentication via PAM

Hi, We currently have a postfix/dovecot setup using nss_ldap with PAM for authentication. Everything is working fine, but there are excessive "error" messages in /var/log/messages that I'd like to prevent from happening. Since auth_userdb defaults to passwd and that our users are not in the passwd file, we get the following message everytime a user logs in: Jul 7 13:34:37

I am trying to configure NIS, PAM, & LDAP on a CentOS 6.2 host. I've previously installed a similar configuration on RHEL4, but CentOS now uses nss-pam-ldapd and nslcd instead of nss_ldap, so the configurations are a little different. Currently, local users and groups are showing up but not LDAP users. When I do a /getent passwd/ and/getent group/ I don't get LDAP users. When I do

I am installing smb 3.5 on a CentOS 6.2 host using smbldap-tools. I've previously installed a similar configuration on RHEL4 using smb 3.0 but CentOS now uses nss-pam-ldapd and nslcd instead of nss_ldap, so the configurations cannot be moved straight across. When I do a listing of a share directory that should have user and group ownership determined by LDAP, I get the uidNumbers and

I keep getting the following errors when I try to log on to my domain or access a share (some how I have no clue I was able to get one computer to access the samba domain). It is a standalone PDC, ldap on the same computer. This problem has been killing me for about a week, any help would be greatly appreciated I'm running samba 3.0.9 on redhat 9 stock ldap server that comes with redhat

Hi, We have a linux/samba only domain serving files to about 16-18 Windows clients (mostly XP, a few W2K).

Hi, I'm having problems accessing home directories though NFS. This setup uses LDAP and Kerberos. Users defined on the local host work fine. This is what dovecot writes in the logs while trying to log in as the user johndoe: ---- Mar 19 14:10:54 jack dovecot-auth: nss_ldap: reconnecting to LDAP server...

Hi, I am trying to set up a Fedora Directory server for centralised authentication. I configure the directory server, add a user called (via the Java GUI) test and then, using system-config-authentication, enable LDAP on both tabs. I then try to log-in using the test account I set up on the directory, but I get an error message in /var/log/messages: May 30 16:28:27 ds1 sshd(pam_unix)[4445]:

Hi all, I was looking to upgrade my dovecot .99.14 installation to 1.0alpha5 today and bumped into an issue. My setup is on Mac OS X 10.4 and I am using After reading http://wiki.dovecot.org/UpgradingDovecot , I created a default dovecot.conf file with the following information grabbed from my prior installation: Snow:~ ed$ grep -v '^ *#' /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf|grep -v ^$

I'm trying to trobuleshoot my previuos problem from the basics. I've a box setup with Ubuntu, samba and ldap. I have a lot of problems with user authentications. I'm checking if LDAP and PAM ar working together. I've added an user to ldap with smbldap-useradd command (as posix account) and I'm trying to use it to login via ssh. This user cannot authenticate. Here is the result

I was wondering what the best practice is for setting up several SAMBA servers in a SAMBA domain all on the same LAN. Here is what I am looking at PDC: LDAP, Samba, nss_ldap, pam_ldap Member1: Samba, nss_ldap, pam_ldap Member2: Samba, nss_ldap, pam_ldap Member . . . . Should I set the member servers up with: Security = domain and join the severs with net rpc join or, whould it be better to set

A couple of days ago I decided that I needed a samba and ldap setup. After reading the samba mailing list , specifically the thread "Re: [Samba] Samba and LDAP backend - howto docs problems?" I decided to buy the Official Samba-3 HowTo and Reference guide", (the Samba-3 By Example mentioned in that thread wasn't available in my bookstore and they could't order it for me too)

Hi all, I found Dag Wieers' Fedora Core 2 rpm on http://dag.wieers.com/packages/dovecot/ and installed it. Now dovecot-auth isn't complaining anymore about an unknown userdb type but I can't get authentication working. /etc/dovecot.conf (...) # Authentication process name. auth = default # plain digest-md5 anonymous auth_mechanisms = plain auth_userdb = pgsql

Hi Rowland, This is a CentOS 6.7 server. I was able to make some progress.

Hi dovecot, I am using the debian dovecot packages on a system running LDAP. My /etc/pam.d/common-* looks like this, which simply means try /etc/passwd first, and try LDAP using the same password if it is failed. account [success=1 default=ignore] pam_unix.so account required pam_ldap.so use_first_pass account required pam_permit.so auth [success=1 default=ignore] pam_unix.so auth

Hello, I am having a small issue with LDAP, and I hope someone here might be able to provide a few tips.

Hi, I am authenticating users on our linux servers using nslcd/pam_ldap. Authentication is fine, however, it is not possible for the user to change the password from the server.

Hi, I have searched all over and I am at a deep loss. I have Openldap setup and it works fine holding users and is searchable, etc. I have samba setup to auth via LDAP and it works. I can NOT for the life of me get system password stuff to work. The strange thing is, that my "testuser" can telnet to the computer and login and can login with samba fine. I can not ssh into the

Hi all, I have installed and configured dovecot on two different machines, so I don't have much experience with this server. One installation is giving me serious problems, that I have a hard time tracing. From the beginning: the machine is a debian mix (stable/unstable) dovecot 0.9.11, real users authenticated via pam_ldap/nss_ldap. It serves ~70 users, all of them using Outlook, Outlook

If a host is running NIS (passwd file ends in +::0:0:::) authentication, will dovecot be able to authenticate with auth_userdb = passwd directly and automagically or do you have to do a ypcat passwd > pwfile periodically to generate a passwd file that dovecot can use? ?
