Ok. I think I know where the problem is. I've spent countless hours
reading through LDPA documentation from the PADL, RedHat and OpenLDAP sites.
I'm running RedHat 7.3 with Netscapes LDAP server (version 6.11). I'm
trying to ssh into a server and authenticate through LDAP. I've also used
authconfig to setup my environment (very easy tool to use I might add).
When I login I receive an error message telling me I've typed in the wrong
password. I "think" the problem is Netscape's LDAP server. When you create
a user and enter a password, the password is encrypted with SSHA. I know
this because I just exported the database and examined the contents. Right
before the password I see something like this
{SSHA}13;lkhasdf8902@#fds
I know Linux uses MD5 passwords when communicating via PAM. I'm wondering
if there is someway to have PAM communicate with SSHA or change Netscapes
LDAP server to speak MD5 rather than SSHA?
I could always create a custom ldif for a user account, craft an MD5
password then import it into my LDAP server. This in my view is a work
around and not a solution (I won't be here forever you know ::grinz::)
I appreciate any thoughts on this. I could always go OpenLDAP however we
prefer to use Netscapes solution.
