Hi, we have an LDAP server (Lotus Notes LDAP server) available at my site,
and I'd like to use it to authenticate logins onto a RedHat 6.1 machine.
The problem is, I can't even find the most simple documentation on how to
do this. I've read the LDAP FAQ's, but they mostly deal with setting up
the server. I already have an LDAP server, I just need to bounce a
name/password off it to authenticate logins.
I've found the file /etc/ldap.conf, changed the host name to my LDAP
server, and the distinguished name of the search base to my domain name.
Also I've added
auth required /lib/security/pam_ldap.so
To my /etc/pam.d/login file. Of course it doesn't work, the only error
message I get in /var/log/messages is:
Nov 16 15:46:47 xx login[2290]: pam_ldap: ldap_search_s Insufficient
access
I wasn't aware there needed to BE a specific access level to authenticate
from an LDAP database! Other programs we use can authenticate from our
LDAP database without using a specific user ID/password. We aren't
attempting to CHANGE info, just authenticate.
Does anyone have a quick guide/MINI HOWTO on this?
Thanks,
Matt Stevenson
