"id thing" returns id: thing: no such user... In iptraf there is a port 389 connection, suggesting its asking the ipa master about user "thing"....so its either asking the wrong Q
or the ipa master cant see the user "thing" yet its there in the gui. One thing "thing" only exists on the ipa master, with "irwin" it exists locally so id returns local info as I see no 389 connection taking place.... there was no nslcd.conf so I wrote one as per, 8.1.4. Configuring System Login You need to modify the /etc/nslcd.conf file, used by the nslcd service, on the client, to include additional information about the IPA server. This is so that the client can reach the IPA server's LDAP server for getent commands and also for ssh. For example, you should include the following information in your /etc/nslcd.conf file: uri host ip-address-of-ipaserver.example.com-here base dc=example,dc=com So mine says, uri host 192.168.100.2 base dc=ipa,dc=ac,dc=nz Where 192.168.100.2 is the original master. regards On Thu, 2011-03-03 at 14:30 -0500, Rob Crittenden wrote: > Steven Jones wrote: > > I appear to have IPA running, I have run the install client on a fed14 > > KVM guest and that guest is in the IPA system, however the users in IPA > > cannot authenticate via IPA and get onto the client.
