I am new to LDAP and struggling with a few things. One is that although I have managed to
setup a SuSE 9.0 box with OpenLDAP 2.1.22 and a pam installation that uses
pam_unix2.so, version 1.14. These
are the versions as supplied by SuSE. My problem is that nothing I do seems to get rid of a
request for LDAP authentication when running passwd as root, even for setting
the root password. I have run debug
on the LDAP server that seems to indicate that it is always using an anonymous
bind in the first connection to the server. I have read in one of the many howtos
and other documents that I have seen recently that the ldap client should use
the root dn specified in the ldap.conf file and the password in /etc/ldap.secret
– id this true, and if so how can I get this to happen so that it is not
necessary to know the current password before setting a password as root? I can give trace logs and setup files if required, but am
leaving them out for now to keep things short. Thanks for reading and any help you may be able to offer. Damon |
