I have installed and configured the puppet client nodes to use LDAP to authenicate users. LDAP connection is OK and user can be authenicated via LDAP. I use nscd and with my ldap config setting specify on /etc/ldap.conf
However, puppet is not happy; and in the /var/log/messages it gives tons of puppet-agent[27499]: nss_ldap: could not search LDAP server puppet-agent[27499]: nss_ldap: reconnecting to LDAP server I guess LDAP server connection is slow or timeout, but could we configure puppet client NOT to use LDAP specify on nsswitch.conf I search previous post; and somebody suggests to fix LDAP locally. I think that is the ideal way; but if I don't have control on LDAP. Give up Puppet or LDAP? I think should have way to configure puppet not to use the host setting set on nsswitch.conf. /etc/sysconfig/puppet or /etc/puppet/puppet.conf <--- anywhere we can tell puppet to use alternative auth way other than the default system /etc/nsswitch.conf -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
