The openldap server and the clients were installed following the
instructions here.

https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/openldap-server.html

On the client, the configuration follows this.

https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/openldap-server.html#openldap-auth-config

I am just able to follow the configuration steps. But I don't quite
understand how NSS and PAM work. Could anybody point me the right
direction on how to figure out who and when login on the client
servers with authentication using a central openldap server?
