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

[William MacAllister <whm [at] dropbox.com>]

Well, the ldapsearch you included shows a base dn of ou=system and your nslcd.conf has a base of dc=example,dc=com. You need to fix that first.

I don't see a user entry in your ldap.  Do you have any in the directory?  I would expect to see entries something like:

$ ldapsearch uid=someuser @posixAccount @inetorgperson @person

dn: uid=someuser,cn=people,dc=somewhere,dc=com

cn: First Last

objectClass: top

objectClass: person

objectClass: inetOrgPerson

objectClass: posixAccount

objectClass: shadowAccount

loginShell: /bin/bash

sn: Last

homeDirectory: /home/someuser

mail: someuser [at] somewhere.com

givenName: First

uid: someuser

uidNumber: 18820

gidNumber: 18820

First, just simple ldapsearches are working, right?

 

Frequently nscd is also install for you by your package management system when nss-pam-ldapd is installed.  While you are testing it is best to turn it off because a stale cache can cause an assortment of problems.  Turn of nscd if it is installed and try again.

 

If that doesn't work post your nslcd.conf and the ldif for a user, i.e. the output from 'ldapsearch uid=someuser'.

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.
