Re: Linux: OpenLdap, PAM in cluster enviroment
Frank,
Your looking to port your current
/etc/passwd:/etc/shadow:/etc/group information into the LDAP
datbase? Am I correct?
This can be done. You can you the LDAPADD and LDAPMOD tools that come
with PADL or other LDAP areas. You'll need to somehow stream the
information from your current files to the LDAP database.
a crude way to do this is with Sun's Directory Services which comes with
Solaris7 and Solaris8. (free). It has an NIS/LDAP conversion tool that
will take /etc/passwd:/etc/shadow: and I think /etc/group and port them
into the SDS for NIS/LDAP/RADIUS. It's not the best way, but it all
depends on what you want to get, your enviornment, and how you want to
attack the issue.
Good luck.
