[Fedora-directory-users] User Authentication and Adding Clients

[Chakkaradeep C C]

Hi All,

I just installed FDS in my FC6 box and created OU, Groups and Users, but I
was not able to login using the name and password which i created in the FDS
into my machine, is anything wrong?

And also, I would be happy if someone could help me or redirect me to some
article explaining how to add Ubuntu/FC machines as clients to the domain.

Thanks,

[Bliss, Aaron]

for your fds box, the easiest way (I think) to set the box up to
authenticate against your ldap server is to run authconfig.  I'm not as
familiar with ubuntu, as such you should be able to modify your
/etc/nsswitch.conf , pam, and ldap.conf files by hand....

Hi,

If I reboot, my Directory Server is not starting and I tried this -
http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Howto:SysVInit , but Its not
working. Even after adding the services to chkconfig, the Directory Server
is not getting automatically started. But If i manually do, service
fedora-ds-admin start after the restart, it does start.

I want to setup my machine (where FDS is installed) to allow User
authentication via Directory Server. I do configure authconfig, but I think
unless I start the slapd and directory server, the ldap authentication will
not be possible.

I would be happy if anyone could help me on this.

Thanks in advance.

Well, the problem here was that System Message Bus was not starting for some
reason without the fedora-ds and fedora-ds-admin started. And also, in my
rc5.d scripts directory, fedora-ds and fedora-ds-admin were the last
services to start, so I just shifted the two services to start before the
system-message-bus service and now I do get FDS started after a Restart :).
Has anybody encountered with this problem earlier?. I didnt find this info
in Wiki, hence thought I could share.

I still dont have any possible clue to do the above for my FDS box. I would
be happy if anyone could help me out please.

Thanks in advance.
