I will stic to the the following example scenario. Change your setting appropriately. My test setup is like this: attachment:fossedulan.jpg = Installing LDAP Client Packages = We need to install necessary client packages and setup them initially. To install all packages: {{{ sudo apt-get install libpam-ldap libnss-ldap }}} During the installtion it will ask few questions and don't worry about them but keep accepting the default settings since we are going to modify them manually later. = Configuring Configuring nsswitch.conf file = The nsswitch.conf file is responsible for switching the authentication order in Linux and we need to setup to accpet LDAP authentication. Tp edit the file: {{{ sudo vi /etc/nsswitch.conf }}} Then we need change {{{compat}}} with {{{files ldap}}}. Use the following command in vi command mode {{{ %s/compat/files ldap/g }}} Now your changes will reflect as follows in /etc/nsswitch.conf {{{ ... passwd: files ldap group: files ldap shadow: files ldap ... }}} The order {{{files ldap}}} will look first {{{/etc/passwd}}} file first and then look LDAP for authentication.
