Re: [gentoo-user] ldap client authentication
I've enabled compile-time debug flags, to no avail. I did some troubleshooting for several hours last night and discovered something interesting -- the LDAP server is responding with a SUCCESS message to the bind request, but PAM (for whatever reason) is still denying my login request. Here's the output of a sniffer capture between the client and the LDAP server: bindResponse resultCode: success (0) The /var/log/auth.log file indicates the following: == auth.log == Nov 3 06:24:00 s_dg...@auth.whatever.com sshd[11393]: error: PAM: Authentication failure for illegal user tb from 10.9.3.153 Nov 3 06:24:00 s_dg...@auth.whatever.com sshd[11393]: Failed keyboard-interactive/pam for invalid user tb from 10.9.3.153 port 56665 ssh2 Nov 3 06:24:00 s_dg...@auth.whatever.com sshd[11396]: pam_tally2(sshd:auth): pam_get_uid; no such user My /etc/pam.d/system-auth file is pretty much verbatim what is listed here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ldap-howto.xml Also, my /etc/nsswitch.conf file has files and ldap in the appropriate places. passwd: files ldap shadow: files ldap group: files ldap Thoughts would be greatly appreciated -- I'm almost there! I just need to figure out why PAM isn't playing nice with LDAP authentication. -james I'm so close I can taste it. :) Any thoughts or ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [gentoo-user] ldap client authentication
It seems that the LDAP is failing to work, as well, in CentOS 5 -- same ldap.conf file that (a) fails in Gentoo, and (b) works in Ubuntu. What's the best way to star troubleshooting this from a PAM perspective? I have a debug line set at the bottom of the ldap.conf file, but that doesn't seem to be giving me enough information. Also, I've set 'debug' at the end of every line in my /etc/pam.d/system-auth file, to no avail. Nothing is showing up in /var/log/debug -- PAM indicates that the 'debug' keyword sends messages to syslog for processing. Thoughts / ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [gentoo-user] ldap client authentication
Yes, I have both of these options enabled: logdir somedir debug 256 The logdir is filled with empty files that, in the name of the file, has the pid of the pam process. However, these files are empty and they do not have anything in them.

Suggest you try getting everything working with ldap first, then convert everything to ldaps (to get SSL working) once you have the application layer sorted.
Re: [gentoo-user] ldap client authentication
LDAP and LDAPS work fine -- as I indicated, the ldapsearch queries work without any issues. Thus the issue is, more or less, related directly to PAM and LDAP together. At some point during troubleshooting I switched to LDAP simply so that I could sniff the packets going across the wire and see what was going on. This is purely a pam_ldap configuration problem as far as I can tell. Any thoughts on how to go about troubleshooting this would be greatly appreciated. -james On Thu, Nov 4, 2010 at 17:58, Adam Carter adamcart...@gmail.com wrote: You seem to be using ldap sometimes and ldaps other times in your configs.
