    Hi All,

I have been trying for many days in getting a fedora machine authenticated via FDS and I am not able to. As far as I see, all the options in nsswitch.conf, system-auth pam file and ldap.conf are proper and the nss too mapped in 
ldap.conf. I have also selected the Password as Unix Crypt Password in the Directory Server. Moreover, I used authconfig to change the Authentication type.

I am not sure why my machine is not fetching user names from FDS. And, if i do a ldapsearch as, 
ldapserach -x -b "dc=fdsdomain,dc=com" from the fedora machine, i am able to get all the ldap details.

I would be happy if anyone could help me. I am struggling for the past 3 days :(


Thanks,

    Hi All,

I tried FDS a lot and also seeked help from IRC and this mailing lists regarding how to get clients authenticated to FDS. I didnt receive ANY help and was (in IRC) sent back that I am not thorough with the LDAP Basics. I was surprised to get that answer. After trying nearly for hours, I switched to openLDAP and Ubuntu as Client, and believe me, 
THEY WORKED LIKE CHARM !. Just 1 hour spent, LDAP server and client up!

FDS looks to be a good product but it still needs extensive documentation. 
"Run authconfig, that should do the job for the client" isnt enough. I did that, edited pam files, nsswitch.conf files, nothing worked in fedora (version 6) with FDS. But with openLDAP, it worked. I also have to admit that openLDAP and fedora as client didnt work with authconfig. 


I am running openLDAP in Fedora Core system and that looks to be great.

I am very disappointed that there is not much help available from FDS Users, from this mailing list or IRC . Any special reason for this? Even when a User has a dumb question like, "I am not able to add Clients", why cant it be complex?

It would be nice if you can post your experience to
configure clients
get authenticate with FDS to your blog or in here.

I appreciate that.

I am still not able to get clients authenticated to FDS. But sure I will update my blog regarding my openLDAP and Ubuntu client  and if FDS works, FDS too.


I think that there is some problem with the /etc/pam.d/system-auth which authconfig didnt change. Exploring into it.

i have FDS with a lot of fedora clients, to configure the
clients i use
this command:

authconfig --useshadow --usemd5 --enableldap
--enableldapauth 
--ldapserver=myserver1,myserver2
--ldapbasedn=dc=domain,dc=com 
--enablecache --kickstart

and works fine.
