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?

Kind regards,

Arjen Neij
