[CentOS] Sendmail using LDAP authentication problem

2010-04-21 Thread sync
Hi , all ;

  My openldap is running fine . Sendmail  configuration is done. I want
to use LDAP authentication only.
  User of my mailserver should not have a Linux users .

   I am running CentOS 5.3 i386 . Openldap-2.3.43-3.el5 ,
sendmail-8.13.8-2.el5

   All the software is already installed and running . LDAP has the
following tree:
 uid=xxx, ou=People, dc=test, dc=com

   I want to know what I've to change which configuration file and any
pointer to the doc with clearly says the configuration .

Any help will be  appreciated. Please I am kind of stuck and waiting
for anyone who can clear this cloud.




 Thank you in advance ~

If you use authconfig to setup nsswitch.conf, pam.d/system-auth and
ldap.conf, you really don't have to do anything in sendmail to
specifically use ldap because pam will find the ldap users
automatically.

at the point it is working, commands like 'getent passwd' and 'getent
group' will list LDAP users and groups respectively and authentication
should work.

Hello,

You should look at saslauthd. I have used it in the past to do precisely
this; Authenticate virtual users for access to sendmail and
cyrus-imapd.

Regards,

Dan
