Steven, sorry you're having such a hard time with this. Let me see if I can help point you in the right direction. I'm trying to look at the history of this thread, but I'm coming into it late, so please forgive me if I retread any ground that's already been covered. First, I need to verify that I understand the state from which you're working. Have you installed FreeIPA from the jdennis.fedorapeople.org yum repository? What version of the RPM packages for freeipa-server, freeipa-client and sssd do you have? (rpm -q) I noticed that you mentioned in an earlier email that you were editing nslcd.conf. This is not the preferred mechanism for setting up a FreeIPA client (any more). We now use SSSD (and ipa-client-install should be setting this up for you). So what I need to see are the following configuration files: 1) /etc/nsswitch.conf 2) /etc/sssd/sssd.conf 3) /etc/pam.d/system-auth 4) /etc/pam.d/password-auth (if using GDM) Also, to start debugging login problems, the best place to look is in /var/log/secure, which should report any PAM modules that are denying access to the account (and the reason why it's being denied). Please provide us with the above information and we'll see what we can do to get you up and running. Also, for much faster triage and debugging, you can join the #freeipa and/or #sssd IRC channels on the irc.freenode.net IRC server and speak with us directly. My nick on those channels is 'sgallagh'. - -- Stephen Gallagher RHCE 804006346421761 Delivering value year after year.
