So we use an Active Directory system to consolidate user accounts, and point our Linux boxes at our domain controllers via LDAP. Common scenario, right? What's confusing me is the multiple ways that you can configure LDAP client on various Linux systems. As far as I can tell there's:
1. Debian / Ubuntu - libpam-ldap / libnss-ldap 2. RHEL 5 - nss_ldap 3. CentOS 5 - openldap-clients 4. RHEL 6 / CentOS 6 - SSSD 5. Oracle Linux - ?? (not sure but I assume it more closely follows RHEL) 6. Amazon Linux - nss-pam-ldapd As far as I can tell, SSSD is not available for Amazon Linux. And yet it's a different configuration setup than any of the other systems. This is the newest addition; I was hoping I could configure it either via SSD or like RH 5, but it's looking to be its own special snowflake. *sigh* How do you all manage things, or are we just really abnormal for running such a mix of OSes? We've been working to get everything into Chef, and I'm refactoring the LDAP setup piece to be its own cookbook for clarity's sake, and ideally would like to simplify the configuration into as few different options as possible. Suggestions very welcome. -- ~*~ StormeRider ~*~ "Every world needs its heroes [...] They inspire us to be better than we are. And they protect from the darkness that's just around the corner."
