Need help in integration of pam and ldap using nss-pam-ldapd

["Kedar Sirshikar (ksirshik)" <ksirshik [at] cisco.com>]

Hi team,

I am trying to do a POC to integrate PAM with LDAP. After exploring on google, I came to know that I can use ‘nss-pam-ldapd’ package.

 

For LDAP server, I am using ApacheDS plug-in from Eclipse.

 

For client, I installed ‘nss-pam-ldapd’ on CentOS 6.8. I followed ‘https://arthurdejong.org/nss-pam-ldapd/setup’ wiki to update PAM and NSLCD configurations.

I can see that ldapsearch is working fine but I am not able to connect to LDAP through PAM and NSLCD.

I am testing based on below two approaches:

1.       I am using ‘pwauth’ which is expected to authenticate user based on PAM-LDAP integration.

2.       I tried ‘getent passwd’ command but I do not get any user from LDAP

I do not even see any logs getting generated. May I know how to activate logs for PAM, NSS, NSLCD?

 

I am very novice to all these concepts so please help me in understanding/fixing above issue.

Also, kindly let me know if you need more details from my side.

Thank you!

 

Regards,

Kedar.
