I've set things up the way I think they should be, but when trying to log in as the newly LDAP created user (the first one), it keeps saying invalid user. I must have missed something. First, Last, d1, d2, & d3 are not actual values. Changed them for security.
If I do an "ldapsearch -x -b 'cn=First Last,ou=people,dc=d1,dc=d2,dc=d3,dc=com'", ldap successfully finds the user and prints out everything about it. /etc/openldap/ldap.conf and /etc/openldap/slapd.conf appear to have been set up correctly since ldapsearch works. I added ldap to /etc/nsswitch.conf passwd, shadow, and group entries before files. I did not add db to those entries. I chkconfig'd on LDAP and saslauthd and started them both. Originally only ldap. No change after adding saslauthd on. When looking at /var/log/secure, the following come out before entering the password when using ssh to log in and getting the password prompt (note that I changed IP and username from their actual values for security): Jul 10 16:51:02 denali sshd[32449]: Invalid user xxxxxxx from ::ffff:0:0:0:0 Jul 10 23:51:02 denali sshd[32450]: input_userauth_request: invalid user xxxxxxx Jul 10 23:51:02 denali sshd[32450]: Failed none for invalid user xxxxxxx from ::ffff:0:0:0:0 port 45103 ssh2 Jul 10 23:51:02 denali sshd[32450]: Failed gssapi-with-mic for invalid user xxxxxxx from ::ffff:0:0:0:0 port 45103 ssh2 Jul 10 23:51:02 denali sshd[32450]: Failed gssapi-with-mic for invalid user xxxxxxx from ::ffff:0:0:0:0 port 45103 ssh2 Jul 10 23:51:02 denali sshd[32450]: Failed publickey for invalid user xxxxxxx from ::ffff:0:0:0:0 port 45103 ssh2 After trying the password, once, originally set up, these come out: Jul 10 23:56:36 denali sshd[32456]: Failed publickey for invalid user xxxxxxx from ::ffff:0:0:0:0 port 45122 ssh2 Jul 10 23:56:48 denali sshd[32456]: Failed password for invalid user xxxxxxx from ::ffff:0:0:0:0 port 45122 ssh2 Jul 10 16:56:48 denali sshd[32455]: Failed password for invalid user xxxxxxx from ::ffff:0:0:0:0 port 45122 ssh2 Could someone enlighten me as to what else to look at to determine what might be wrong here, or what else to try.
