Re: [ilugd] Linux + LDAP+ Terminal Server
If i create a user by useradd command and then login via FreeNX then it is working fine, but now i am not able to figure out how FreeNX will use FDS to authenticate users that are in FDS database and not in /etc/passwd file. First things first. Are you able to login to the server shell with an LDAP user? Or doing getent passwd shows users in your LDAP database? NX server authenticates against the users in your system's database using PAM. Its upto you to configure PAM to pull user information from all the relevant databases, be it /etc/passwd or NIS or LDAP. Once you have setup system login against LDAP, you should be good to go. Go through openldap documentation instead of NX. regards, Nishant Yahoo! recommends that you upgrade to the new and safer Internet Explorer 8. http://downloads.yahoo.com/in/internetexplorer/ ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

What error messages do you get when trying to authenticate with the FreeNX client? yes i am able to connect to FDS via my linux client machines without any issue. I am just using system-config-authentication and then enabling the LDAP. This is working great. If i create a user by useradd command and then login via FreeNX then it is working fine, but now i am not able to figure out how FreeNX will use FDS to authenticate users that are in FDS database and not in /etc/passwd file. PS- I have to remove windows terminal server and need the approx functionality with Linux box. i just have 6 users at present.

You will of course need to add users from some other system (like /etc/passwd) to the LDAP directory if that is going to be your new sole source of authentication.

My users are in LDAP not in /etc/password. 2. FreeNX is recognizing only localusers not the LDAP users for authentication. 3. I have 6 users with home directory on a single server and i want all users to login to this server from there respective machine and use the GUI. (they have to have use gui for programming interface, else ssh was really good and there was no pain. This is some sort of windows terminal server setup with multiple profile and you can access them with RDP. 4.Now FreeNX is not able to figure out how to login into the Server with a specified user Name in LDAP. i have got someting http://www.mpipks-dresden.mpg.de/~mueller/docs/suse10.1/suselinux-manual_en/manual/sec.freenx.advanced.html please see 15.2.2.. FreeNX may not be able to auth directly against your LDAP server, but it can authenticate against pam, and pam can in turn be configured to authenticate against your LDAP server. e.g freeNX--PAM--LDAP PS:--- i might be conceptually wrong in this. i am not freeNX sensitive but i do not know any other better tool. it was working perfectly when i was not using LDAP. And the intention of using LDAP is to remove MS ACtive Directory from org.

Don't know any more about FreeNX in order to help you, but searching Google for freenx ldap pam seems to turn up many likely looking links.
