Dear people, I try to follow the IBM redpaper about " Securing Linux with a Central z/OS LDAP Server (RACF)". But after about some days trying/reading/websurfing I am not succesfull with it.
On the z/OS RACF part I can see some (re)action by tracing the startedtask LDAPSRV. I can see a user binds to the ldapserver, does a search filter for a specific user, the one who wants to log in the linux system and at the end returns the message: "backend routine NOT successful, rc=53". The user who wants to log into the Linux system has an OMVS segment, which should be checked for access to a LINUX guest. At first the Linux message log reported: pam_ldap: ldap_search_s Internal (implementation specific) error. And does not make a connection to z/OS racf. Tracing the started task LDAPSRV has no result. Nothing appears in trace log. After installation of the nss_ldap module at the linux site. Messages appear in the trace log of the started task. But a succesfull login was not possible. This time the Linux message log reported: nss_ldap:could not search LDAP serverv - Server is unwilling to perform. Our configuration is a SuSe Linux 8 (64 bit) server under VM and a z/OS 1.4 RACF implementation. The LDAP server is running under z/OS 1.4 and when i do a ldapsearch from the Linux server or e.g a windows machine I am allowed to retrieve information from the RACF database: ldapsearch -h 10.10.120.1 -D racfid=p02864,profiletype=user,sysplex=mvs1,o=kasbank -W -s base -b "racfid=p00900,profiletype=user,sysplex=mvs1,o=kasbank" -d -v -x An important option, I think, in above syntax is -x with stands for simple authentication (no SASL). I tried to translate this option in the ldap.conf configuration file with "sasl_secprops none". Is anyone familliar with these problems and knows how to solve them or has anyone a more specific installation procedure for this implementation?
