RE: OffTopic - Solaris 9 & openldap

Hi John,

I have done some Centralized LDAP stuff using openldap(w/ Berkeley DB,
w/ SSL/TLS, or iDS51 as secondary/primary), + + openssl + openssh +
pam_ldap + nss_ldap, and would like to share the experience. I avoided
cyrus-sasl and used Simple BIND w/ TLS.

Subject: OffTopic - Solaris 9 & openldap


Apologies for this off topic post, but I'm struggling as to where to go
for 
information.

For various reasons, primarily that the LDAP server needs to access the
LDAP 
repository, we are running one of our domains with OpenLDAP (the other
domain 
where we have a dedicated server runs iDS5 with no problems)  Whilst the
Linux 
clients can authenticate against LDAP successfully I have been unable to
get the 
Solaris 9 clients to do so.  If I login with a local account getent and
ldaplist 
return correct entries, it is just the authentication of users at login
that 
fails.  I've found documents that describe how to do interoperate
Solaris 9 and 
OpenLDAP using PADL nss-ldap but not with native Solaris nss-ldap.  Can
anyone 
provide pointers as to what I'm missing and how I can use native
nss-ldap?

Unless you think your reply will interest the whole list please reply
directly 
to me.

Thanks for any help
